A bad crash Friday night in Butler Township snarled traffic for hours.
Police say the vehicle vs. pedestrian accident happened about 7:30 p.m. Friday on the on-ramp to Route 422 from Route 356.
According to Butler Township Police, 52-year-old Jeffrey Fox of Kittanning was driving east on Route 422 when he struck a pedestrian. Police say the pedestrian- 57-year-old Leonard Benson of Armstrong County- was in the road picking up a car part that fell from his nearby disabled vehicle.
