A Washington couple died in a motorcycle accident in Greene County Saturday evening when their motorcycle collided with another vehicle along Route 19 in Franklin Township. Authorities say 58-year-old Paul Tripoli and a passenger on the motorcycle, his 55-year-old wife Darla, were traveling south on Route 19 near Hillcrest Avenue around six o’clock, when the bike went out of control on a curve, crossed the center line and collided with an oncoming vehicle driven by 36-year-old Bianca Simpson of Waynesburg. The Tripolis died at the scene. Police say Simpson was not hurt. The Tripoli’s recently celebrated their 25th anniversary. Paul Tripoli was a well-known therapist in the Washington County area while his wife, Darla, was a funeral director at Salandra Funeral Home in Canonsburg.
