No one was injured in a one-vehicle crash on Route 259 in Brush Valley Township, just north of Ross Road on December 13th. 21-year-old Tucker Singer of Robinson was driving North on 259 when for unknown reasons, his car went off the east shoulder, went down an embankment.

Another crash on the 13th was reported in East Wheatfield Township on Route 22. 42-year-old Calvin Frantz of Altoona was driving east on Route 22 when the car started to slide on the snow-covered road. The fish-tailing car hit a concrete barrier on the left side with it’s rear end, causing a tire to go flat.
The driver escaped injury in a crash on December 14th on Cherry Tree Road in Montgomery Township around 11:30 AM. 25-year-old Ian Ralston of Altoona was going East on Cherry Tree Road when he lost control due to the bad road conditions. He went off the southern berm and hit a utility pole. Police also say speed was a factor in the crash.
