The Pennsylvania State Police are investigating a three-vehicle crash in Harborcreek Township on Tuesday night in which one of the motorists later died.

The accident was initially reported on Tuesday at 7:32 p.m. on Buffalo Road at Nagle Road, according to state police and Erie County 911. One of the vehicles rear-ended another vehicle at the intersection, causing the struck vehicle to be pushed into a third vehicle, state police reported.
