Authorities have identified a western Pennsylvania motorist and a Kentucky trucker as those who died in an 18-vehicle pileup on Interstate 80 in western Pennsylvania.
The chain reaction crash happened Wednesday afternoon on Interstate 80 in Clarion Township, Clarion County.
State police said nine trucks, several of them tractor-trailers, and nine cars were involved in the crash in the highway's westbound lanes.
The Clarion County coroner and state police say 35-year-old Timothy Floravit, of Beaver Falls, died Wednesday from striking the steering column of his car while driving with his wife and children.
The other victim is 67-year-old Leonard Mink, of Nancy, Kentucky, who was struck by another vehicle when he got out of his rig to help other motorists.
State police spokesman Trooper Jamie Levier told The Associated Press the number of injured taken to hospitals was less than 10.
He says a bus seen leaving the scene with several passengers was warming them, not taking them to a hospital, which may have inflated earlier injury estimates.
