Traffic Accidents - Sizerville Road

Neither driver was hurt in a crash on Sizerville Road at it's intersection with Sizer Run Road in Portage Township on December 19, 2012 at 1:05 PM.

Trooper Eric Farabaugh who investigated, said as a 1997 Mack E7-464 driven by Daryl M. Downes, 53, of Philipsburg, PA, was traveling southbound on Rt. 155, a 2005 Volkswagen Passat driven by Shirley J. Zimmer, 81, of Emporium, PA, turned onto Route 155 from Old Portage Road without first checking to see if the roadway was clear.

Downes steered his truck to the right, but was unable to avoid hitting the Volkswagen. The car was struck in the passenger side door with the left front tire. The truck started to spin counter clockwise and rotated about 90 degrees and came to rest across both lanes of travel. The Volkswagen continued southbound in the northbound lane and the front of the vehicle was pinned under the bumper of the truck.

Both drivers were wearing seat belts and were unhurt. The truck was able to be driven from the scene. The Volkswagen was towed.

Zimmer was cited for a stop sign violation.
