An 83-year-old State College resident died Saturday afternoon around 1 p.m. in a single-vehicle crash in the 200 block of A Alley between South Allen Street and South Pugh Street.

The driver was maneuvering a Hyundai Elantra through the Schlow Centre Region Library parking lot when the vehicle accelerated into A Alley and struck a concrete wall of a construction site, according to State College police.
