DANVILLE, P.A. – Hazardous snow conditions didn’t stop members of the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT), Pennsylvania National Guard, and Pennsylvania State Police from lending a hand during Tuesday’s snow storm.

According to Pennsylvania State Police, a 23-month-old child needing an emergency heart transplant was escorted from East Stroudsburg to Geisinger Children’s Hospital in Danville.

A plow-train led by PennDOT ensured the safe travel of the child.
