One injured in crash
The driver of this Ford pickup truck lost control of his vehicle and crashed into the front of a home at 830 Faxon Parkway in Loyalsock Township after suffering an apparent medical episode behind the wheel about 1 p.m. Saturday, according to emergency responders. The truck, heading west on East Third Street, first struck a car near Northway Road and then took out a sign as it headed north on Faxon Parkway, officials said. The truck crossed Faxon Parkway and struck the east side of an office building (SL Financial Group), and then crashed into a large bolder, moving it about five feet, officials said. The bolder, which was at the end of the driveway at the back of the office building, landed in the middle of the sidewalk. The truck then crossed Faxon Parkway a second time before crashing into the front of the house, officials said. Upon hitting the home, the truck struck the water line to the house, resulting in some water damage before firefighters could get the water turned off. The driver was taken by ambulance to UPMC Williamsport, where he was undergoing medical treatment, fire officials said. State police were leading the investigation into the accident.
