SHENANDOAH – One vehicle had to be towed from a crash which closed a portion of West Centre Street for at least half an hour Tuesday evening.

Just after 6:00pm, the Shenandoah Fire Department, which moments prior was cleared from a reported house fire in Ringtown, was dispatched to West Centre and West Streets in the borough for a vehicle accident.

Firefighters from Shenandoah’s Columbia, Polish American, and Rescue Hook & Ladder fire companies responded to the scene, arriving to find a multi-vehicle crash.
