HUMBOLDT, Luzerne County – A Hazleton woman suffered minor injuries after rolling her vehicle in this section of Hazle Township Wednesday afternoon.
The crash happened around 3:30pm on Route 924 near Oakridge Drive, when Elizabeth Paredes Gil, 38, of Hazleton, was headed east on Route 924 towards the city.
State troopers from the Hazleton barracks said Paredes Gil’s 2003 Honda Accord crossed onto the right shoulder. That’s when, troopers said, she over-corrected and lost control of the sedan.
The Honda crossed over the oncoming lane of travel and left the opposite side of the roadway, striking an embankment and utility pole before rolling.
The vehicle had to be towed from the scene.
Paredes Gil was treated at the scene by Lehigh Valley Health Network paramedics and taken to Geisinger – Wyoming Valley. She will be cited for driving without a license, among other traffic infractions.
