Port Allegany Woman Drowns
After Car Lands in Creek
A young Port Allegany woman is dead following an accident early this morning when the car she was a passenger in ended up in a creek.
21-year-old Emily Schena was taken to Charles Cole Memorial Hospital, where she was pronounced dead.
Police say the car driven by 21-year-old Emily Schultz, also of Port Allegany traveled off the road at around 1:30 a.m., hit a metal bridge rail, and then flipped onto its roof and into Combs Creek. Police say the creek was flowing strong and high because of the melting snow.
Schultz was able to free herself from the car, but Schena could not get out. Police say the cause of death is drowning.
The investigation is continuing.
