BEDFORD, Pa. (CP) - Three members of a family from Pickering, Ont., were killed when a pickup truck travelling in the wrong direction hit their van, state police said Sunday.
Roger St-Denis, 52; Angela St-Denis, 15, and Paul St-Denis, 21, were pronounced dead at the scene of the accident on Interstate 99 in Bedford Township, police said. Two other family members, Angela St-Denis, 52, and Theresa St-Denis, 22, were treated at hospital and released. The family was on vacation, police said.
A family member said Roger St-Denis, his wife Angela, and their kids, Paul, Theresa and Angela had left Pickering on Friday and were driving to Florida when the accident happened about 135 kilometres southeast of Pittsburgh.
"They were going to spend a week there with an uncle and then were going on a cruise to the Caribbean," Frank Cirone, Roger's brother-in-law told The Canadian Press by telephone from Pickering.
He said the mother and surviving daughter, who arrived in Pickering on Sunday, were shaken and badly bruised.
The family's van was passing a tractor-trailer at about 3:40 a.m. Saturday when a pickup truck, driven by Jeremy Grimes, travelling in the wrong direction slammed into the van, police said.
Police said they do not know how Grimes, 23, of Bedford, entered the wrong lane of the four-lane divided highway.
Grimes was treated at a hospital, police said.
He was in the Bedford County Jail on Sunday, a jail official said. It was not immediately clear if he had a lawyer.
