A preliminary investigation at the scene revealed that a Toyota Highlander was traveling north on State Route 34 when it crossed into the opposite lane of travel and struck a Chevy Silverado pick-up truck head-on that was traveling south on State Route 34. 

Four people were traveling inside the Toyota Highlander.  The driver of the Highlander, a 42-year-old female from the Bronx was transported by ambulance to Robert Packer in critical condition.  A 56-year-old male passenger from the Bronx was transported by ambulance to Robert Packer Hospital for what appear to be non-life-threatening injuries.  A rear seat passenger, a 41-year-old male from the Bronx was pronounced deceased on scene.  A rear seat passenger, 38-year-old female from the Bronx was transported by ambulance to Robert Packer and later succumbed to her injuries at the hospital. 

One person was traveling in the Chevy Silverado pick-up, a 68-year-old male of Athens, PA who was pronounced deceased on scene. 

The investigation is on-going.
