"SAINT CLAIR — Three people were killed early Saturday in a one-vehicle crash on Route 61 just north of Saint Clair.
State police at Schuylkill Haven identified the driver, (Censored), 19, of Friedensburg, and passenger (Censored), 23, of
Pottsville, as two of those who died. Schuylkill County Coroner Dr.
David Moylan said (Censored), 16, of Pottsville, was the other
person who died.
A 16-year-old girl from New Philadelphia suffered non-life-threatening injuries, police said, but her name was not released Saturday.
None of the occupants of the car was wearing a seat belt, police said.
The accident occurred at 1:25 a.m. about 1 mile south of Mall Road in Blythe Township, as the 2006 Hyundai Tiburon driven by Centeleghe struck a guiderail after he lost control of the vehicle while rounding a left-hand curve, police said. The car became airborne and smashed through a billboard, then the roof of the vehicle hit a tree, police said. The car stopped facing east on its roof at the base of the tree about 18 feet off the road.
Police said the vehicle was going too fast for the wet road conditions.
At least one person was ejected from the car, police said. Schuylkill County Deputy Coroner Scott P. Clews, Saint Clair, pronounced three people dead at the scene. One of the men was initially placed in an ambulance but died at the scene.
Route 61 northbound was closed for about 2 1/2 hours while authorities investigated the crash and cleaned up the scene.
Responding were troopers from the Schuylkill Haven station, Saint Clair police department, Saint Clair EMS, Pottsville/Schuylill Haven EMS, Saint Clair Hook and Ladder Fire Company, Columbia Hose Company, Saint Clair, and Goodwill Hose Company, Frackville."
