Dialysis Patient Dies in Medical Van Crash Along Icy Pennsylvania Road

A dialysis patient died when the medical van he was in was hit head-on by another vehicle on an icy western Pennsylvania road.

Cambria County Coroner Jeffrey Lees said 69-year-old Robert Frain was properly restrained in a wheelchair when the sport-utility vehicle hit the Med-Van about 9:25 a.m. Sunday in Cambria Township.

State police, including an accident reconstructionist, tried to determine how the crash happened, but Lees said "it's obvious weather was a factor. The road was snow-covered and icy."

The drivers of both vehicles were taken to hospitals, though their names and conditions have yet to be released.
