A 19 year old passenger in Cavalieri’s vehicle, who also was not wearing a seatbelt, and the driver of the second vehicle were taken to Geisinger Medical Center for treatment.

Shortly before 3 a.m. February 21, 23 year Andrew Mazza of Forest City was killed when the vehicle he was in left Barlow Road in Gibson Township and went into a creek.
