A 17-year-old male from Tamaqua was cited after he crashed his vehicle. The accident occurred about 11:48 a.m. on Monday, Oct. 28, along Meadow Lane, in Walker Township, outside Tamaqua.
State police at Frackville said the teen was driving a 2000 Honda Civic eastbound and approached a sharp right curve. He was traveling too fast to allow the vehicle to turn and it slid off the road on the north shoulder.
The car then impacted with a ditch at a small creek, causing significant damage to the front of the car.
