Charges Filed Against Man Responsible For Fiery Crash

A Greensburg man accused of causing a fiery wrong-way crash in Hempfield Township is now facing charges. State Police recently filed 15 charges against eighty-year-old Daniel Oliver, including risking a catastrophe, driving under the influence, three counts of recklessly endangering another person and multiple traffic violations. Authorities say Oliver drove several miles in the wrong direction on I-70 on February 10th, eventually crashing into three tractor-trailers just before one a.m. One of those trucks spilled diesel, which caused a massive fire. Only one of the drivers involved in the crash was taken to a hospital for treatment. The crash shut down the highway and caused bumper-to-bumper traffic for hours. Police say Oliver submitted to a breath test on scene and the breathalyzer showed a positive presence of alcohol. Chemical blood testing done afterwards showed he had a blood alcohol concentration of .095% and had THC in his system.
