A 25-year-old York County man died after a single-vehicle crash Friday afternoon in Penns Valley, according to state police at Rockview.
Hunter Zeigler, of Dover, was the passenger in a 2011 Jeep Wrangler traveling west on McCall Dam Road in Miles Township at about 4 p.m. when the driver lost control of the vehicle. A state police investigator said the driver over-corrected through a curve, causing the Jeep to overturn and eventually come to rest on its roof and facing northeast.
Zeigler was not wearing a seat belt and was partially ejected from the vehicle, police said. He died at the scene from injuries sustained in the crash.
The driver, a 21-year-old woman from Glen Rock, York County, was wearing a seat belt and was taken to Geisinger Medical Center in Danville for minor injuries.
A witness said the vehicle was traveling at a high speed on the gravel road at the time of the crash, according to police.
Miles Township Fire Company, Penns Valley EMS, Evangelical Regional Mobile Medical Services and Kuppel’s Auto Center towing responded to the scene.
