St. Thomas Township, PA – Single-Vehicle Crash Sends Driver to Hospital on Twin Bridge Road (September 23, 2026)

A single-vehicle crash sent one person to the hospital early Wednesday morning in St. Thomas Township, Franklin County, according to emergency dispatchers. The crash occurred in the 200 block of Twin Bridge Road, near its intersection with Lincoln Highway West, also known as Route 30, at approximately 5:08 a.m. on September 23, 2026.

Dispatchers said only one vehicle was involved in the crash. Twin Bridge Road in that area runs through a mix of rural and residential terrain in Franklin County, not far from the more heavily traveled Route 30 corridor. Given the location and initial reports from the scene, a medical helicopter was requested to respond in case rapid transport to a regional trauma center was needed. That request was later canceled, and the injured occupant was instead transported by ground ambulance to a hospital for treatment.

The extent of the injuries sustained in the crash was not disclosed by dispatchers. Pennsylvania State Police responded to the scene to investigate the circumstances that led to the vehicle leaving the roadway. As is standard practice for single-vehicle crashes on rural roadways, investigators are expected to examine factors such as road conditions, weather, and vehicle performance as part of their review. The investigation into the cause of the crash remains ongoing, and no additional details about the vehicle or the sequence of events had been released as of this report.

Emergency crews, including ambulance personnel and state police units, worked at the scene along Twin Bridge Road for a period following the crash, and the area was affected by the emergency response during the early morning hours before sunrise. The scene has since been cleared, and the roadway has returned to normal traffic conditions for commuters passing through the area.

A full crash report is expected to be available from Pennsylvania State Police once the investigation concludes. Anyone with information about the crash, including witnesses who may have been traveling on Twin Bridge Road or Route 30 around the time of the incident, is asked to contact the Pennsylvania State Police barracks serving Franklin County.
