Quemahoning Township officials are expected to meet Wednesday with PennDOT to consider ways to improve safety at an intersection on Route 30 where a New Florence mother was killed last week.

In the past two years, four people have died when their cars were hit by coal trucks on Route 30 through central Somerset County, records at The Tribune-Democrat indicate.

PennDOT said eight fatal crashes – in which 11 people were killed – have occurred on the 23-mile stretch of Route 30 through the county in the past five years.

“If people would only go the speed limit,” Quemahoning Township Supervisor Ron Berkebile said. “It’s not only coal trucks, either. It’s cars, believe me.”
