EAST CAMERON TOWNSHIP - One person remains hospitalized following a rollover crash Friday at 12:32 a.m. on Route 125 south of Gowen City.
A 2001 Chevrolet Tracker, driven by Kory Quercia, 23, of Frackville, was traveling north on Route 125 and negotiating a left-hand curve in the road when he lost control of the vehicle. The vehicle then struck a dirt embankment and rolled over, but then righted itself before coming to a stop approximately 105 feet from the point of impact. The roof and hood of the vehicle were dented.
Quercia and a passenger, Paul G. Laurusevage, 26, of Frackville, were seen being treated on the shoulder of the northbound lane, approximately 70 feet from where the vehicle stopped.
Quercia was transported to Geisnger Medical Center (GMC) in Danville by Trevorton Ambulance, where he was later treated and released. Laurusevage was transported to Geisinger-Shamokin Area Community Hospital by AREA Services before being flown via Life Flight helicopter to GMC, where he was listed Friday in fair condition.
Police say that speed was a factor in the crash and that alcohol is also suspected. Quercia will be cited for the accident.
Assisting police at the scene were fire police, and personnel from East Cameron Township and Shamokin Rescue 62.
