White Oak and Allegheny County police are investigating the chain of events that took the life of a McKeesport woman in a one-car collision on Sunday.
The Allegheny County medical examiner’s office said Keisha Fortner, 45, was pronounced dead at AHN Forbes Regional Hospital in Monroeville following the collision on Route 48 near McClintock Road.
White Oak police Chief Jason Binder said Fortner was the driver of a Chevrolet SUV that was traveling north when the crash occurred just before 4 p.m. Sunday. A male passenger in the vehicle was taken to an area hospital where he was in critical condition, Binder said.
The passenger’s name has not yet been released.
Although several TV reports indicated that a tree had fallen on top of Fortner’s vehicle, Binder said the cause of the accident is still under investigation and the Allegheny County police accident reconstruction unit is assisting borough police.
Police at this time do not believe any other vehicles were involved in the incident, he said.
White Oak firefighters and EMS also responded to the scene, Binder said.
