PITTSBURGH (KDKA) – A violent Friday night accident in Butler County has claimed the lives of two men while two others remain in the hospital.

According to police, the accident happened around 11 p.m. on Silverville Road in Buffalo Township.

The vehicle sheared a utility pole and rolled several times.

Donald Robinson, 20, of Tarentum, was pronounced dead at Allegheny General Hospital around 5 p.m. Saturday. The two were cousins.

“He was a good kid, trying to make something of himself,” said Brian Geraci, Robinson’s uncle. “For him to be taken so young, it shouldn’t happen to anybody.”
