Police Reports

No injuries were reported in a three vehicle crash on Route 120 at it's intersection with Hercules Road in Shippen Township, Cameron County, last Thursday at 7:00 am.
Trooper John Whitcomb, who investigated, said the crash occurred as Ernest W. Merritt, 51, of Hendersonville, TN, was driving a 2005 Freightliner Columbia Eastbound on Route 120.
A 2009 Chevrolet Express driven by Matthew J. Nicklas, 36 of St. Marys, PA, began to pass Merritt's Freightliner.
The Chevrolet was followed in the pass by a third vehicle, a 2004 Freightliner Sprinter, driven by Joseph L. Testi, 51, of DuBois, PA.

In the process of overtaking the lead vehicle, the Chevrolet and the Freightliner Sprinter were directly beside the lead vehicle when that vehicle failed to maintain it's travel lane and traveled into the westbound lane where the other vehicles were passing. The passing vehicles attempted to move onto the shoulder of the westbound lane but ran out of space between the leading Freightliner and and the guardrail.

The leading Freightliner struck the two passing units in their right sides. Upon impact, the Chevrolet driver applied his brakes. The Freightliner behind him was unable to slow in time and struck the Chevrolet in the rear. The passing vehicles continued traveling east on the shoulder of the westbound lane for about 180 feet before coming to a controlled stop.

The lead Freightliner continued to travel east on SR 120, and left the scene of the crash.
Police later located the lead Freightliner at the loading dock of a local factory.
Charges are pending at District Court 59-3-01.
