A Carbon County driver was involved in a one-vehicle crash in Monroe County.

Pocono Mountain Regional police said on Sept. 25 at 12:10 p.m. they were dispatched to a Jeep traveling erratically and at a high rate of speed on Route 115 south of Kerrick Road. Minutes later police were advised the same vehicle had crashed and rolled over multiple times.

Police arrived at 6014 Route 115 to find a Jeep on its side and the driver trapped inside. The driver, who was eventually freed by volunteers of the Tobyhanna Township Fire Company using the jaws-of-life tool, was identified as Ronald Wayne Jackson III, 28, of Lehighton. He was flown to the Geisinger Wyoming Valley Hospital in Plains Township, Luzerne County.

Police said witnesses stated the Jeep was passing and running opposing traffic off the road prior to the crash. A preliminary investigation showed the Jeep was traveling at a extremely high rate of speed when it crossed the northbound lane and struck a drainage ditch. It then became airborne for about 100 feet before landing into a tree, shearing the tree off and then rolled over several times until it came to rest in the front yard of 6006 Route 115.

The investigation as to the cause is ongoing, police said.

Another crash was reported on Oct. 12 at 12:54 a.m. along Route 940 west, in Pocono Summit. Police said a Mitsubishi Eclipse was eastbound in the westbound alne near the I380 overpass when it collided head-on into a Nissan Rouge, which was westbound.

Both drivers, Noel Coughlin, 62, of Blakeslee, and Patricia Hallman, 69, of Pocono Summit, were trapped in their vehicles and had to be extricated by Pocono Summit and Tobyhanna fire companies volunteers using the jaws-of-life tool.

Police said the Rouge driver was transported to the Lehigh Valley Pocono Medical Center, East Stroudsburg; and the Eclipse driver was taken to the CMC in Scranton. Police did not identify who was driving which vehicle.
