Tractor-trailer levels garage in Tamaqua

A four-car garage in Tamaqua was leveled Monday night in the South Ward section of the community. Shortly after 10 p.m. the operator of a tractor-trailer driving south on Race Street, one of the community’s narrowest streets, came upon a T in the roadway. As he tried to turn onto Bowe Street, he struck and leveled the four-car garage. As he drove down Race Street he also tore down numerous utility lines. COPYRIGHT LARRY NEFF/SPECIAL TO THE TIMES NEWS
