Valley drivers escape injury in Luzerne crash

HUMBOLDT, Luzerne County – Two drivers from the Ringtown Valley escaped injury when their vehicles collided on Route 924 here last Thursday.

State Police at Hazleton said the crash happened around 2:43pm Thursday on Route 924 at North Park Drive.

Troopers said a 17-year-old Oneida teen was headed east on Route 924 in a 2015 Ford F-150 approaching the red light at North Park Drive.

Thomas M. Wanick, 42, of Zion Grove, was stopped at the light in a 2007 Chevrolet Express.

Troopers said the Oneida teen was driving too fast for the snowy conditions and was unable to stop for the red light. He then struck Wanick’s van in the rear, troopers said.

The teen received a written warning and his vehicle was towed from the scene.
