An Erie County deputy coroner has been called to the scene of a fatal traffic accident in Edinboro.

Rescuers received the call around 7:00 p.m. for a one vehicle rollover with heavy damage near the intersection of Route 6N and Silverthorn Road in Washington Township.

First responders reported that someone was entrapped in the vehicle.  They worked to free the victim, but called for a coroner to come to the scene.

According to sources from the scene, in addition to one fatality, a second person in the vehicle was very badly injured.

Pennsylvania State Police from the Girard barracks are investigating.

A portion of Route 6N has been closed to traffic in the area of the accident.  Fire police are rerouting traffic from Route 98 and Eureka Road.
