Authorities say emergency crews were dispatched to the crash scene, along the 800 block of Menoher Blvd., just before 5 p.m.

Governor Josh Shapiro says access to high-speed internet is a necessity during a stop at the Cambria County Library to highlight 45 million in funding for high-speed internet at community hubs across the Commonwealth.
That funding includes a $2 million grant to the library to expand internet access there and create a new learning lab and WiFi accessible spaces on the first floor.
Other community hubs receiving similar funding include places like schools and community health centers.
Gov. Shapiro talked about the importance of making internet access more affordable.
"We understand the critical importance of getting the pricing right as well as connecting people to the internet that they deserve. We understand that by reducing that price from over 100 bucks to under 50 bucks, that's going to save the average person in Cambria County about $600 a year,”
"With this monumental gift and funding, we will be able to advance our mission to connect our community with resources that educate, entertain, and empower. We have so much to look forward to and we can't wait to live in a future that is more connected and more accessible,”
The state funding has been approved for 49 projects in 27 counties across Pennsylvania.
This is a big week for President Joe Biden as he takes on his last full week in office.
The President will give a speech Monday on Foreign Policy, highlighting what he considers his administration's critical work on restoring American alliance abroad.
He is expected to touch on the wars in Ukraine and Gaza.
And Biden is then scheduled to give a farewell address Wednesday evening to cap off his term in office.
And President Biden has delayed his order blocking the sale of U.S. Steel to Japan's Nippon Steel to until June.
The President originally blocked the $15 billion deal on grounds of national security concerns. The delay now gives courts time to review a legal challenge filed by both companies.
Biden and President Elect Donald Trump both voiced opposition to the acquisition as they courted the steelworkers union ahead of the November Election.
Nippon Steel has pledged to invest $2.7 billion to upgrade U.S. Steel's facilities
The company warns without the investment it would shift to a Non Union Steel Mill
Affordable housing is an issue in many communities, especially for those struggling to pay basic household expenses.
In Centre County, several new housing projects are moving forward to help offset those issues.
Just outside of State College, along North Atherton Street, there is an area that, for decades, was a mobile home park.
While the area has since been cleared for new developments, nearby, affordable apartment buildings are in the works.
“There is quite a lot of land back there. I think there were plans from Patton Township to have some affordable housing component towards the back of that complex.”
In another housing program, boosted by more than a million dollars in county funding, there are more new projects in the works.
“We have roughly four in the greater State College area. Then two up in Philipsburg, and one in Snow Shoe.”
In some communities, affordable housing is coming through renovating existing structures, with businesses on the ground floor, and new apartments above.
“You’re providing affordable housing, historic preservation and keeping housing walkable to all kinds of services.”
But whether it’s termed affordable, or workforce housing, it’s more than just buildings. A key issue is who qualifies to move in, based on economic and other factors, and that differs among communities and the support programs involved.
“Our fair market in Centre County this year is a bit under twelve hundred dollars a month for a one bedroom apartment. Where surrounding counties are half of that.”
Centre County's director of adult services, Faith Ryan, adds that one benefit of the various sized projects is more flexibility and options for families in need.

Officials say the organization has not been able to keep up with the increasing demand of a growing community, and that the COVID-19 pandemic took its toll on health care services.
"It's important for people to remember that COVID took a very big hit on health care, so now every part of health care is trying to rebuild, and come back from that, and unfortunately there's some pieces of health care that are
not able to."
Officials say that during the transition, they've been working with insurance companies and clients who have paid for the services on their own.

State police in Blair County say a Williamsburg woman is behind bars following an over two year investigation into the death of her elderly mother.
Troopers say 37-year-old Colleen Sayegh is accused of failing to properly care for her mother, resulting in the victim being hospitalized with various sores and open wounds, and later dying.
According to the affidavit, police were first contacted in July of 2022 after the victim was taken to Conemaugh Nason Medical Center for treatment.
Investigators say hospital staff reported that the victim was covered in urine and feces, as well as several open wounds and sores.
Hospital staff also reported that the victim had suffered severe dehydration and had an extremely low blood pressure, police noted in the complaint.
Troopers say the victim, who was wheelchair-bound, also showed signs of a recent stroke and was flown to Conemaugh Memorial Medical Center in Cambria County.
Police say troopers were notified a couple days later that the victim had passed away in the hospital.
Prior to her passing, investigators say troopers conducted a search of her Woodbury Township residence.
Troopers noted that the home was in deplorable conditions, as it was reportedly littered with feces and a foul odor.
While on scene, investigators spoke with the victim's daughter, identified as Sayegh, who confirmed that her mother had suffered a stroke, approximately one year prior, and stated that her mother was allegedly under her care after spending a short time in a nursing home.
According to Sayegh, police say the victim had allegedly "taken a turn for the worse" and was unable to fully communicate with her.
When questioned further about the type of care that she was providing to her mother, troopers say Sayegh admitted to not bathing the victim in "months" and stated that it had been over a year since she had seen a doctor.
