Mt. Morris Woman Dies From Injuries In I-79 Crash

A Mt. Morris woman has died from injuries suffered last week in a head-on collision with a tractor-trailer on Interstate 79 in Greene County near the Welcome Center in Whitely Township. State Police say 45-year-old Donna Philips was driving south on the interstate just before five o’clock on Wednesday when she apparently lost control of her vehicle and crossed the median. She crashed into a tractor-trailer traveling in the northbound lanes. She and a sixteen-year-old girl in the vehicle were taken to Ruby Memorial Hospital in Morgantown, West Virginia. There’s been no word on the identity of the teen or her condition. The driver of the truck and a passenger, both from Florida, were not injured.
