KAYLEE LINDENMUTH / SHENANDOAH SENTINEL - Firefighters at the scene of a vehicle accident in Turkey Run on April 7, 2024.
TURKEY RUN – One man was taken to a hospital after a crash wedged his pickup truck sideways between two junked cars in this section of town.
The crash happened just after 4pm at Vito Rinaldi Chevrolet on the Gold Star Highway right on the Shenandoah/Mahanoy Township line.
A Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck headed south towards Frackville veered off the roadway and onto a section of the car lot where older, long-uninspected vehicles are stored.
The truck plowed through a Ford pickup truck and a Chevrolet Impala, turning onto its side as it struck a Pontiac. It became wedged between that sedan and a Ford Ranger pickup.
The driver was able to free himself from the vehicle and was evaluated at the scene by Shenandoah Ambulance personnel. Schuylkill EMS were also briefly on scene to assist.
The man was taken to a local hospital for treatment. It is not clear why he veered off the road or the extent of his injuries.
Firefighters from Shenandoah’s Rescue Hook and Ladder and Columbia fire companies responded along with Shenandoah Fire Police, Shenandoah Police, Frackville Police, and the Pennsylvania State Police.
