A 4-year-old girl died and seven people were injured in a two-car crash on a snowy road in Venango County yesterday

A vehicle driven by Cindy L. Schill, 51, of Tionesta was heading north on state Route 417 in Oakland Township when it went out of control shortly before 11 p.m., according to state police.
