A Carbon County man is dead following a two-car crash Thursday night in Lehigh Township.

Township police Chief Scott Fogel said police were dispatched at 9:14 p.m. to a vehicle crash into a house on Riverview Drive (Route 145), just north of East Valley Drive.

Police arrived to find a two-vehicle crash, with one vehicle into a house in the 1100 block of Riverview Drive.

A silver colored Saturn was traveling northbound and collided with a white Chevrolet Traverse that was traveling southbound.

After the collision, the Saturn continued across the southbound lane and struck a house.

The Traverse was driven by John Carrie, of Lehigh Township, and also occupied by a child. Both occupants of the Traverse were wearing seat belts and did not require medical treatment.

The driver, a 63-year-old male from Carbon County, and the only occupant of the Saturn, was deceased at the scene. The seatbelt was not in use in this vehicle.

The deceased was not identified by police.

The Saturn sustained heavy damage from the collision and the front airbags were deployed. The Northampton County Coroner’s Office was contacted and responded to the crash.

Riverview Drive (Route 145) was closed for over four hours during the crash investigation.

The crash remains under investigation.

Also assisting at the scene were the Lehigh Township Fire Department, Lehigh Township Fire Police, and Northampton Regional EMS.
