The Berwyn Fire Company was dispatched to the 900 block of Lancaster Avenue in Berwyn for a motor vehicle crash at 9:40 a.m. Initial reports indicated two cars had struck each other, sending one of them into the Conestoga Collision building.

Ambulance 2-1 was returning from Paoli Hospital after a previous call and arrived on the scene shortly after dispatch. The ambulance crew found a two-vehicle crash and reported a car into the building with a victim in cardiac arrest.

The subject in cardiac arrest was rapidly removed from their car by first responders and was subsequently transported to Paoli Hospital. Unfortunately, the victim was later pronounced dead at the hospital. The Easttown Township Police Department (ETPD) is investigating the incident.

There were no other injuries reported at the crash scene. The Berwyn Fire Police assisted with closing the westbound lanes of Lancaster Ave., while the ETPD conducted their investigation.
