One injured in Heights crash

SHENANDOAH HEIGHTS – One person was taken to a local hospital after a crash in this West Mahanoy Township village Thursday afternoon.

The crash happened at Swatara Road and Schuylkill Avenue just after 1pm.

A Volkwagen sedan was headed south on Swatara when township police said they were waved out by a vehicle on Schuylkill Avenue. Thinking the signal indicated they were safe to pull onto Schuylkill, they did, and struck a passing Chevrolet Equinox.

One of the occupants in the Equinox suffered a minor injury and was taken to a local hospital by Shenandoah Ambulance, township police said at the scene.

No other injuries were reported and the Equinox was towed from the scene by Steve’s Towing.

Shenandoah Heights and Mahanoy City firefighters responded along with township police and Shenandoah Ambulance.
