State police at the Lehighton barracks reported the following crashes:
• Frederic C. Holle, 80, of Gilbert, had minor injuries after a two-vehicle crash at 6:38 a.m. June 29 on Interchange Road, Towamensing Township.
Police said he sustained a small facial-area cut but refused a medical services transport from the scene.
Police said he was driving a 1998 Dodge Ram 1500 that failed to stop in time when a 2016 GMC Sierra driven by Ronald L. Flamisch, 70, of Northampton, slowed down as he approached Preachers Camp Road. Police said the weather conditions included heavy fog that made visibility poor.
They said the Dodge hit a boat the Sierra was towing, causing severe damage to the trailer, boat and Sierra. The Dodge had disabling front-end damage.
Police said the Dodge and the boat were towed from the scene.
• Nicolo D. Corticchia, 18, of Cresco, was uninjured in a one-vehicle crash at 11:08 p.m. July 4 on the Kunkletown Road, Ross Township.
Police said a passenger in the vehicle, whom they did not identify, was transported by personnel from the Lehigh Valley MedEvac corps to the Lehigh Valley Hospital, Pocono Campus, East Stroudsburg.
Police said Corticchia was driving a 2007 Ford 500 east at a high rate of speed when he lost control of the car due to speed and the wet roadway. The car traveled onto the right shoulder of the road and hit a large rock. The car was towed from the scene.
Corticchia was cited for failure to drive at a safe speed, according to police.
