Troopers said Darion M. McGowan, 30, of Allentown, was driving a 2006 Ford Explorer westbound on Oakland Avenue toward the intersection and then entered the intersection where the vehicle was struck by a 2007 Nissan Versa driven by Eden R. Dunton, 19, of Palmerton, who was northbound on 873.
No one was injured. Troopers cited McGowan for the crash.
The second crash occurred at 7:02 p.m. on Dec. 10 along Best Station Road, also in Washington Township. Troopers said Donna J. Teetz, 61, of Palmerton, was driving a 2017 Ford Escape eastbound and approaching the area of Eagle Circle/Eagle Road. While negotiating the curve her vehicle crossed the double yellow line, entered the opposing lane of travel, went onto the berm and onto a grassy area. The vehicle then impacted with the front porch/patio at 3853 Best Station Road. After that impact the Escape came to final rest facing southwest on the grass area in front of the residence.
Teetz and her passenger Barbara A. Shellenberger, 62, of Coplay, were not injured. The Escape had to be towed.
