LEWISBURG - Donald E. Pease, 82, of Gorham, N.Y., was identified Wednesday as the driver accused of causing a fatal accident Sunday on Route 15.
He was misidentified as 81-year-old Edward Peace in a police report previously issued by state police at Milton.
Ellen Marie Kear, 35, of Turbotville, was pronounced dead at the scene by Union County Coroner Wanda Walters. Kear was thrown from her vehicle after Peace's car struck it head-on and ultimately landed on top of her.
Police say Pease was driving a 2009 Cadillac DTS on the wrong side of the road about 9 p.m. in Kelly Township, Union County, when the crash occurred at the intersection with AJK Boulevard, about three miles north of Lewisburg.
Pease reportedly ran a red light and sideswiped a 2004 Pontiac Vibe driven by Jeffrey M. DiChristopher, 30, of Cheektowaga, N.Y., then collided head-on with Kear's vehicle, pushing it into the front a 2007 Subaru Outback driven by Amy A. Gallant, 55, of Wellsboro.
Police said the victims' vehicles were stopped for a red light at the intersection.
Terry P. Neuhard, 74, of Milton, who was driving a 2009 Ford Edge, tried to avoid the wreck but was struck by the Outback, police said.
Pease was treated and released from Evangelical Community Hospital. No other drivers or passengers were injured.
It remains unclear if charges will be filed.
