City Crash Sends One To Hospital

At approximately 11:30am today Hazleton City Fire, EMS, and Hazleton City Police responded to the intersection of Broad Street and Coxe Street for a report of a motor vehicle accident.

The truck was heading Eastbound on Broad Street when it exited the roadway, colliding with a tree, causing the vehicle to spin and strike a city light pole before coming to a stop against a utility pole.

The tree was sheered off and the pole was dislodged, both items coming to a rest on top of the truck.

​Broad Street was closed for approximately an hour while crews worked to remove the debris and the vehicle.

The driver was transported to Lehigh Valley Hazleton via APTS.
