Landslide Kills One On Great Allegheny Passage

CONNELLSVILLE, Pa. — An apparent landslide killed a bicyclist and injured another Saturday along the Great Allegheny Passage, according to the coroner.  Fayette County Coroner Bob Baker identified the deceased victim as a 76-year-old woman from Florida. Officials are working to notify her next of kin.  The other bicyclist was taken to the hospital after the accident, Baker said, though he didn’t specify their condition.  State Police were sent to mile marker 87.6 on the Great Allegheny Passage for reports of two people trapped under a rock.  The Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources has taken over the investigation.  Officials with Ohiopyle State Park said in a social media post that a rockslide happened within the park, and that the injured bicyclist was flown to a hospital with serious injuries.  In a social media post, Great Allegheny Passage officials said the landslide has closed the trail between Ohiopyle and Connellsville.  Trail users have been told to avoid that section.
