UPDATE: Shenandoah man hit fire dept. vehicle in Hazle, PSP says
HUMBOLDT, Luzerne County – A Shenandoah man was behind the wheel of the vehicle that struck a Hazle Township Fire Co. vehicle earlier this month, state police said.
State Police at Hazleton released further information on the Dec. 16 crash Saturday.
Troopers said the crash happened around 7:30am on Route 924 near Oakridge Road as Scott Kostician, 53, of West Hazleton, and Jeffrey Trovitch, 59, of Hazle Township, both Hazle Township firefighters, were responding to a crash in a 2007 Chevrolet utility vehicle.
Steven Hinton, 41, of Shenandoah, was following behind in a 2010 Kia Soul as they travelled south on Route 924.
The firefighters arrived at the scene of the crash and Hinton, troopers said, was driving too fast for the snowy conditions and struck the rear-end of the fire vehicle.
Hinton’s vehicle was disabled and towed from the scene. Troopers said no one was injured in the crash.
Hinton was cited for speeding.
