A sport utility vehicle went out of control on an icy freeway in Bucks County crashed through a guardrail and plunged down an embankment to the shoulder of the Pennsylvania Turnpike, killing two people and injuring two others.
State police say 25-year-old Richard Nagbe of Upper Darby and 31-year-old Dehkontee Kpou of Philadelphia were killed in the 3:30 a.m. Sunday crash on I-95 in Bucks County. Another man was taken to St. Mary Medical Center with serious injuries and another woman with apparently minor injuries.
Police said the SUV driver lost control “due to icy road conditions,” bringing to three the number of Pennsylvania deaths attributed to the rare October storm. A snow-laden tree toppled onto a Berks County home Saturday, killing an elderly man in a recliner.
