Drivers, passengers and garbage truck workers all escaped serious injury Friday in Tamaqua. Around 1 p.m., a Tamaqua Transfer and Recycling garbage truck, nearing the Tamaqua's Five Points intersection and being driven Gregory Peltz of New Ringgold, rear-ended the back of an older white Honda Civic being driven by Hendrick Acherman of Berwick. This impact then forced the Civic, which was waiting at a red light, to be pushed partway underneath the back of a box truck operated by Donald Royer of Milton.
