State police at Fogelsville reported on two crashes investigated by troopers recently on Lehigh County roads.

A two-vehicle crash was reported at 11:27 a.m. on Tuesday along the Tilghman Street on-ramp to Route 22 in Upper Macungie Township. Troopers said Bruce J. Kistler, 53 of Slatington, was on the ramp and stopped waiting to enter Route 22 when his 2015 Ford transit van was struck in the rear by a 2008 Toyota Sienna driven by Kelly L. Hockenberry, 49, of Coplay. No one was injured. The Toyota had to be towed.

Troopers cited Hockenberry for following too closely.

The second crash was on Wednesday at 6:42 a.m. on the Route 309 on ramp in South Whitehall Township. Troopers said Alyssa B. Solt, 36, of Kunkletown, was driving a 2007 Dodge Nitro southbound on the exit ramp from Route 22 to 309 and negotiating a right curve when she lost control and struck a concrete barrier along the east side. Upon impact, the Nitro rolled over and came to rest on its roof facing east.

Solt was not injured. The Nitro had to be towed.

Solt was cited for driving at a unsafe speed.
