TREVORTON - One person remains in serious condition following a three-vehicle crash on Gap Road (Route 2044) at a section known as "dead man's curve" in Zerbe Township Sunday afternoon.

Salvatore J. Penna, 58, of Carlisle, was still at Geisinger Medical Center, Danville, Monday afternoon after being transported via Life Flight helicopter from the 1 p.m. accident, which involved two motorcycles and injured five people.

State police at Stonington report Penna was traveling south on a 1977 Harley Davidson Sportster and started to negotiate a right curve. Another motorcycle, a 2012 Harley Davidson Street Glide, ridden by Andrew Williard, 42, and Shane Williard, 39, both of Herndon, was following.

At the same time, a 1994 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera, driven by Elwood J. Harner, 85, of Ashland, was traveling north on Gap Road.

Police say when Penna made the turn, he crossed the center line and entered the northbound lane, colliding with the left side of the Oldsmobile.

After the first impact, Harner's vehicle crossed into the southbound lane and struck Williard's motorcycle with its front end.

Harner, his passenger, Wanda Harner, of Ashland, and the Williards were transported to Geisinger-Shamokin Area Community Hospital.

A spokesperson at Geisinger said the Harners were treated and released Sunday, while the Williards were kept overnight for observation before being discharged Monday.

Police said citations will be forthcoming.
