PETERS TOWNSHIP, PA – A pedestrian accident in Washington County on Wednesday night claimed the life of an elderly woman, according to WTAE.
Police were called to the 2000 block of Washington Road near Moccasin Drive in Peters Township after the incident was reported at about 8 p.m. It happened near the entrance to the Pizzaz and Simmons Farm market parking lot.
