The crash occurred south of the intersection of Baker Hill Road and Route 145 in Freeman Township.
Route 145 was closed for approximately 90 minutes during the subsequent investigation. Electrical power was temporarily lost to surrounding communities as a result of the crash.
Charles is investigating and conducting a reconstruction on the accident to determine the cause.
