Spring Township, PA (November 10, 2025) – A multi-vehicle collision in Spring Township on Saturday resulted in serious injuries to a 12-year-old child, according to local authorities. The incident occurred around 3:00 p.m. on November 8 along the 800 block of Pleasant View Boulevard.
Spring Township police responded to reports of a four-vehicle crash and arrived to find multiple vehicles with extensive damage obstructing the roadway. Preliminary findings indicated that a woman and a 12-year-old child were traveling on Pleasant View Boulevard when a Mercedes SUV, driven by 25-year-old Esmanbek Umarov of State College, allegedly struck their vehicle head-on. Investigators stated that Umarov was attempting to pass another vehicle at the time of the collision.
Emergency personnel provided immediate aid at the scene. The 12-year-old sustained serious injuries and was airlifted to Geisinger Medical Center in Danville for advanced treatment. The woman driving the vehicle was transported to Mount Nittany Medical Center, where she was treated for moderate injuries. Police confirmed that two additional vehicles were also damaged in the crash, though no further injuries were reported.
Authorities believe that alcohol and controlled substances contributed to the collision. Following the investigation at the scene, Umarov was arrested and transported to the Centre County Prison. Court documents show that he faces multiple charges, including aggravated assault by vehicle while driving under the influence, reckless endangerment, DUI, reckless driving, and careless driving.
Our thoughts are with the injured child and the woman recovering from this crash, and we wish them both a full and rapid recovery.
DUI and Multi-Vehicle Collisions in Pennsylvania
Crashes involving impaired drivers remain a serious concern across Pennsylvania, often resulting in devastating injuries and significant property damage. When alcohol or drugs are involved, reaction time, judgment, and control behind the wheel are severely compromised, increasing the risk of high-impact collisions like the one reported in Spring Township.
According to the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, alcohol-related crashes account for a substantial portion of serious traffic incidents each year. Head-on collisions are particularly dangerous, as the combined force of impact can lead to severe or life-threatening injuries, especially for passengers such as children who are more vulnerable in these situations.
Victims of such accidents often face extensive medical treatment, lengthy recovery periods, and emotional trauma. Beyond physical injuries, families can experience financial strain due to mounting hospital bills, rehabilitation costs, and lost income. In cases where impairment is suspected, criminal charges may proceed separately from civil claims, but victims and their families still have the right to pursue compensation for damages through the civil legal system.
