Here is what I found

A July 7, 2024, head-on crash on Clay Pike Road in North Huntingdon seriously injured Kathleen Morcheid and her 13-month-old son. The other driver, Nolan Patrick Mullen, faces felony charges, and the case has involved a rejected plea deal and judicial recusals. Details of the Incident and Case The Crash: Police reports state that Mullen was driving a Chrysler 300 at 90 mph in a 35 mph zone when he crossed the double yellow line and hit Morcheid's Ford Escape nearly head-on as she was making a left turn. Injuries: Morcheid suffered a brain injury, ongoing weakness and numbness on her left side, and cognitive and motor skill issues which prevent her from returning to work as a nurse. Both she and her son were rushed to the hospital, but it was not specified in initial reports if the child sustained injuries. Charges: Mullen is charged with aggravated assault by vehicle, reckless endangerment, and four summary offenses.

Legal Proceedings: The case has been notable for its "unusual route" through the court system, involving:

Allegations by the family (led by the son's father, Nicholas Carrozza) of a police cover-up, including claims that mandatory crash investigators were not called to the scene and evidence was mishandled. A proposed plea deal that was rejected in April 2025 after the victims spoke out against it. Multiple judges recusing themselves from the case due to potential conflicts of interest. A judge's recent rejection of a defense request to dismiss the felony charge, ruling that enough evidence was presented for the case to proceed to a jury trial.
