Two PennDOT employees, 58-year-old Robert Greenlee of Franklin and 31-year-old Seth Baughman of Polk, lost their lives in a tragic crash on Wednesday afternoon in Mineral Township, Venango County.

The incident occurred around 2:54 p.m. on June 18 along State Route 965, also known as Jackson Center Polk Road. According to Pennsylvania State Police in Franklin, the two men were inside a 2020 Mack truck heading east when the front passenger-side tire failed for unknown reasons.

Jillian Harry, spokesperson for PennDOT District 1, expressed the department’s sorrow, saying the team was heartbroken over the loss and offered condolences to the families, friends, and coworkers affected by the tragedy.
