Troop B, which encompasses Allegheny, Fayette and Washington counties and portions of Westmoreland County, including Smithton, West Newton, North Belle Vernon, Monessen and Interstate 70 in the Mid-Mon Valley, responded to 43 vehicle accidents between Saturday and Tuesday.
Of those crashes, one resulted in a fatality while the victim was wearing a seatbelt. Another 10 people were injured in accidents, state police said.
Although four crashes were deemed alcohol-related, the fatal accident was not one of them.
