WAYNESBORO, Pa. — Correction: An earlier version of this story had Benshoff's age at 19. The information provided by the York County Coroner's Office was later amended to include his correct age.
An 18-year-old Franklin County man died of injuries sustained in a multi-vehicle crash three days earlier, according to the York County Coroner's Office.
Samuel Benshoff, of Waynesboro, succumbed to his injuries Monday night at WellSpan York Hospital, according to York County Coroner Pamela L. Gay.
He was involved in a crash three days earlier in Washington Township, Franklin County, Gay said.
According to police, Benshoff was driving west on Washington Township Boulevard near Country Club Road at about 10:23 p.m. on Jan. 7 when his vehicle crossed the double yellow line and struck another vehicle traveling in the eastbound lane.
The road conditions were icy at the time of the crash, police said, and Benshoff's vehicle reportedly slid into the opposing lane.
Benshoff was trapped inside his vehicle as a result of the crash, and was transported to York Hospital for treatment. He died of injuries sustained in the crash on Monday night, according to Gay.
Gay's office determined the cause of death was multiple blunt force injuries, and ruled the manner of death accidental.
No autopsy has been scheduled. A routine toxicology screen was obtained at the hospital, according to Gay.
Washington Township Police are investigating the crash.
