Washington Teen Killed in Rt. 19 Crash

A teenager was killed Tuesday after being ejected from a vehicle in which he was a passenger Thursday night on state Rt 19 in North Strabane Township.

Washington County Coroner Tim Warco on Wednesday said the car in which Nathan Singo, 17, of Washington, was a passenger hit several traffic barriers and a construction sign on state Rt. 19 at Lindley Road around 9:50 p.m.

According to the release, the vehicle then crossed the southbound lanes and rolled several times before coming to rest on the shoulder of the northbound lanes—during which Singo was ejected, Warco said in a release.

Both Singo and the driver of the vehicle—who was not named—were taken to Canonsburg General Hospital. Warco pronounced Singo dead around 10:30 p.m. Tuesday.

Warco on Wednesday said the death was accidental. The news release also indicates that "excessive speed is believed to be a factor" in the accident, which is being investigated by North Strabane police.
