WOODWARD TOWNSHIP -- Part of Route 220 near Williamsport was closed again Tuesday, in the same area where two crashes blocked the road the day before.

State police said a driver lost control on Route 220 southbound at the intersection with Pine Run Road and went down an embankment around 3:15 p.m. Tuesday.

Two people were taken to the hospital. The driver was flown, and a male passenger was taken by ambulance. State police said they suffered critical injuries. The deputy coroner confirmed the passenger died at the hospital. He was identified as Eric Emahiser, 46, of Lock Haven.

The cause of the accident is under investigation.

Video sent to Newswatch 16 by a viewer shows a medical helicopter landing on the roadway.

On Monday, two separate crashes closed parts of Route 220 in the same area. One crash around 4:30 p.m. near the intersection with Quenshukeny Road left two men dead. Police said they were hit while changing a tire. A second crash occurred a few hours later about five miles away near the intersection with Route 287.
