A Fayette County man is facing charges after a multi-vehicle, hit-and-run crash critically injured another man on Saturday night in Bullskin Township, state police said.

Matthew McKnight, 46, of Connellsville, is accused of speeding and leaving the scene of the crash at the intersection of East End Road and Memorial Boulevard. State police said they were called to the scene of the three-vehicle crash just after 10:30 p.m.

Two drivers, 67-year-old Martin Halfhill and 76-year-old James Blackburn, both also from Connellsville, were stopped in their vehicles in the left-hand turning lane at Memorial Boulevard, state police said.

While stopped, state police say McKnight's speeding Dodge Ram pickup slammed into the back of Blackburn's minivan, pushing it forward into Halfhill's SUV.
