A 26-year-old man from Haryana died in a multi-vehicle crash that occurred in the US state of Pennsylvania following ice and snow storms across the mid-Atlantic region, local media reported.
Manpreet Singh from Pehowa, Haryana, who had moved to Queens, New York recently, was hit by a truck that was on its way to Indiana.
"The crash occurred around 6.30 a.m. on December 24 near mile marker 64 on Interstate-80 west in Clarion Township," Clarion County Coroner Dan Shingledecker said.
Singh, who was taken to a hospital in Clarion, Pennsylvania, was pronounced dead at 8.58 a.m.
Shingledecker said the cause of death was blunt force trauma, while the death has been ruled accidental.
