CRANBERRY TOWNSHIP, Pa. - One person was injured in a rollover crash on Interstate 79 in Cranberry Township Sunday afternoon. The accident happened near mile marker 82 of the northbound lanes about 2:30 p.m. The name and condition of the person injured has not been released. Investigators have not said what caused the crash.
The cranberry growing season lasts from April to November; the fruiting buds mature during the winter dormancy period. During the dormant season, severe winter weather could harm or even kill cranberry vines, which is why farmers must take preventative measures to protect their crop. The farmers flood the cranberry bogs (which often freeze over) to protect the vines and buds from injuries associated with cold weather. Generally, the initial flood takes place in December and is held in the bogs until winter's end. A practice called sanding is also crucial to the health of the cranberries and the bog itself.
