A Bucks County Sheriff's Deputy was killed in a car crash Tuesday night on Route 313, officials announced.

Deputy Keith Clymer was killed in a two-vehicle accident on Route 313 at the Wagon Wheel Tavern in Quakertown at approximately 8:30 p.m., officials with the Bucks County Sheriff's Office said.

It was the second serious crash in Bucks County on Tuesday night. A victim was airlifted from a two-car crash on Windy Bush Road in Wrightstown Township. That crash happened around 10 p.m., police said.
