DANVILLE - The condition of a woman involved a four-vehicle crash Monday that closed Route 54 near Elysburg for nearly seven hours and sent five people to the hospital has improved from critical to serious, according to a nursing supervisor at Geisinger Medical Center Wednesday evening.
Brenda Shaw, of Johnson City, N.Y., was a passenger in a Ford Mustang struck by a tractor-trailer truck Monday. Her husband, Richard D. Shaw, was driving the Mustang when it was hit. He was still listed in critical condition Wednesday evening, the nursing supervisor said.
The Mustang was pushed into oncoming traffic where it hit a Toyota Prius, driven by David L. Wolfe, of Shamokin, who was listed in serious condition Wednesday evening. Wolfe's wife, Judith, and son, David, were passengers in the Prius. They were treated and released.
A Dodge Dakota, driven by Ricardo Contreras, of Danville, hit the Prius. Contreras and the driver of the tractor-trailer truck, David P. McGuinn, of Tulip Road, Paxinos, were not injured.
