A vehicle driven by 52-year-old Harvey J. Maines was traveling south at the same time a vehicle driven by 56-year-old Andrew Steele was northbound on 453.
Upon approaching an intersection, Maines failed to see Steele’s car approaching from the other direction. Maines began to make a left turn onto State Route 1015. While he was turning, his truck traveled into the path of Steele’s car.
Steele recognized Maines’ truck was turning in front of him and he applied his brakes, leaving approximately 78 feet of skid marks. However, he was unable to stop his vehicle without hitting the truck. Steele’s car hit the right-front side with its front end.
Upon impact, Steele’s vehicle rolled onto its roof and came to rest on the east side of Route 453.
Steele suffered minor injuries and was taken to Altoona Hospital by Bellwood Ambulance.
State police said they were assisted at the scene by firefighters from Tyrone and the Tyrone Fire Police.
