A wrong-way crash in North Strabane Township has left a Washington Man dead and another man injured. State Police say the crash happened just before two o’clock Tuesday morning in the southbound lanes near the Houston exit when 57-year-old Darnell Hudson, the sole occupant of a car, was traveling the wrong way in the southbound lane of Interstate 79. Troopers say he slammed head-on into a vehicle driven by 28-year-old Zachary Porta of Altoona, who was traveling south. Porta was flown to a Pittsburgh area hospital with serious injuries. That stretch of highway was closed for several hours.
