MCELHATTAN -- A vehicle crash left one driver life-flighted for serious injuries along Route 220 South in Wayne Township Wednesday evening.

On July 21, Amanda Fuller, 20, of Lock Haven, was ejected from her vehicle after losing control and crashing into a bridge abutment, as reported by State Police at Lamar.

Police said that the crash occurred at about 4:53 p.m. on Wednesday where the section of Route 220 crosses over the Susquehanna River.

Fuller was ejected after her vehicle allegedly slid, overturned, and rolled over several times. Debris from her vehicle spewed about causing minor damage to another vehicle which was operated by Ryan Neatrour, 49, of Hughsville, according to police.

Fuller was flown via Life Flight to Geisinger Medical Center in Danville for her injuries. Along with Life Flight, police were assisted on scene by Castanea Fire Dept., Wayne Township Fire Co., Avis Fire Co., Flemington Goodwill Hose, Lock Haven EMS, PennDOT, Clinton County Fire Police. The vehicles were towed away by Showcase Towing.

Some time after the initial accident, traffic was stopped along the Route 220, which sparked a separate, multi-car crash.

A Flemington woman was treated for injuries sustained after the secondary crash occurred.

Police said the incident occurred about 5:30 p.m., when Andriani Christoforou, 22, of Elk Grove Village, Ill., allegedly failed to notice that traffic stopped and proceeded to crash into a vehicle driven by Margaret Walker, 60, of Flemington.

Walker's vehicle was pushed into the rear of a 2021 Subaru Impreza driven by Austin Barnes, 21, of South Williamsport, police said in their report.

David Kramer, 20, of Jersey Shore, was a passenger in Barnes's vehicle.

Walker was taken to the UPMC Lock Haven for further evaluation.

All of the vehicles were towed from the scene by Bresslers Towing. There was assistance on the scene by Station 94 from Avis, Flemington Goodwill Hose, Woolrich Fire Co., and Jersey Shore EMS.
