JOHNSTOWN — An Indiana County man died Wednesday from injuries he sustained following a two-vehicle crash in Indiana County, Cambria County Chief Deputy Coroner Joseph Hribar said Thursday.

Ronald W. Shearer, 82, of Indiana was driving a Toyota Tacoma southbound on Old Route 119 Highway North in White Township at 10:50 a.m. when he struck a flatbed tow truck that was backing out into traffic, Hribar said.

Shearer was taken to Conemaugh Memorial Medical Center, Johnstown, where he was pronounced dead in the emergency room at 12:54 p.m.

An autopsy was scheduled Thursday at ForensicDX in Windber.

State police in Indiana and the Cambria County Coroner’s Office are investigating.
