Municipalities who don’t have their own police departments could be asked to pay for state police coverage under a proposal from Gov. Tom Wolf.

The Fayette County coroner’s office has been called to a crash on Route 381 in Stewart Township.

The one-vehicle crash occurred around 9 a.m., when the vehicle rolled over two to three times, just past Dinner Bell-Ohiopyle Road, said Farmington Volunteer Fire Chief Brian VanSickle.

The identity of the occupant of the vehicle, a woman, has not yet been released.

VanSickle said the weather conditions and speed may have been a factor.
