State police have issued reports on several accidents in which slippery roads were a factor.
A driver and his passenger somehow escaped serious injury early Sunday when their car traveled off Route 110 in Rayne Township, smashing head-on into a guiderail, traveling onto an embankment and spinning out before falling fifteen-to-twenty feet into a ravine, where it ended up on its roof. 18-year-old Michael Wise of Ernest and a 17-year-old boy from Home suffered suspected minor injuries and were both taken by Citizens Ambulance to the Indiana Regional Medical Center.
An Altoona woman was injured Saturday night in a crash on Route 422 in Cherryhill Township when her car slid off the highway and hit the guiderails alongside one side of the road, and then crossed and hit the rails on the other side. 21-year-old Alexis Finnegan was treated at the scene by paramedics from Citizens Ambulance Service.
27-year-old Benjamin Hall of Centre Hall, Centre County, and his passenger escaped injury Saturday night when their pickup truck slid off ice-covered Route 22 and hit a stop sign at Clark Road in West Wheatfield Township. Their pickup sustained disabling damage.
