Marital spat triggers deadly crash

COLEBROOKDALE, Pa., Feb. 8 (UPI) -- A Pennsylvania man following his wife's car after they had an argument got into a head-on collision that killed him and the other driver Saturday.

James McManus, 45, of Pike lost control of his van and went into oncoming traffic, the Reading Eagle reported. The van burst into flames after McManus collided with a sport utility vehicle driven by Katelynn Hunt, 23, of Glenmore.

McManus was already dead when the van caught fire, Jonn Hollenbach, deputy Berks County coroner, said.

Hunt was pronounced dead at an Allentown hospital where she had been taken by helicopter.

Georgeanna McManus was badly burned, although her car was not involved in the crash. Police did not say how she was injured. She was listed in critical condition at Lehigh Valley Hospital in Allentown.

Police said the couple had an argument, and Georgeanna McManus drove away from their house. Her husband followed, trying to get her to pull over.
