Fatal Crash in Elk County

Two people are dead following an accident Saturday afternoon at the intersection of routes 66 and 948 in Highland Township.

State police say a car driven by 19-year-old Levi Rowles of Clearfield didn't stop at the intersection and pulled into the path of a Freightliner tractor-trailer driven by Mark Peterson of Bradford.

Rowles and his passenger, 38-year-old Carla Rowles of Clearfield, were pronounced dead at the scene.

Peterson was not hurt.

my boyfriend & I were in front of the semi going north on 66, your nephew went through the stop sign fast (assuming he never saw it)he just missed us by inches. my boyfriend was driving, he had to move into the southbound Rt 66 lane to avoid us getting hit. I'm sorry for your loss. I lost my husband in a car accident in 2005. so I know how it feels to want to know any information.

I am very close to the truck driver that was involved.....and I can assure you that he IS extremely heart-broken that this happened. He is a kind man with a big heart. he still questions why such a tragedy happened to all involved. On behalf of all that know him and his family......our hearts go out to the Rowles family....you are all in our thoughts and prayers at your time of loss.
