PA Man James Tschudy ID’d As Victim In Tuesday Fatal 3-Vehicle Crash Near Tyrone

TYRONE, PA. (THECOUNT) — James Tschudy, of Mount Union, PA, has been identified as the victim in a fatal three-vehicle crash near Tyrone Tuesday afternoon.

Tschudy, 63, was killed in a multi-vehicle crash on Route 453 in Blair County on Tuesday around noon.

According to officials, Tschudy was operating a vehicle with his son as a passenger, when their vehicle was struck by a big-rig while traveling on Route 453 just south of Tyrone. The impact caused the vehicle to plunge over an embankment.

The fatal crash occurred in Snyder Township near Ironville Road about 12:15 p.m., Blair County Coroner Patricia Ross said Tuesday night.

The tractor-trailer apparently lost control and crossed the centerlines before colliding with another truck.

One of the semi-tractors then made contact with Tschudy’s vehicle.

Tschudy’s son was transported to an area hospital with serious injuries, reports AltoonaMirror.

Tschudy was pronounced dead at the scene of multiple blunt force trauma injuries.

The cause of the crash remains under investigation.

It is unclear if the truck drivers were injured in the violent crash.
