Pa. State Police have not yet issued a report on their investigation of a crash at the Route 6 Plaza, Friday.
At about 1:15 p.m., a Dodge Stratus and a delivery truck collided on Route 6 by the entrance to the Plaza opposite the access road to Wal-Mart and Home Depot. The car was left blocking the entrance to the Plaza with its passenger side crushed in. The delivery truck entered the Plaza parking lot and struck a parked Sunny Inc. sweeper truck, coming to rest against it.
June Utegg, the driver of the car, was taken to Wayne Memorial Hospital, said White Mills Fire Chief Ken Batzel. Bill Perry of Moscow, who was operating the delivery ruck for Epsco, said he was just shakened up.
Perry said he was just driving east on Route 6 when the car came out from Wal-Mart Drive. “Then I ended up here. What happened between there and here I don’t know, it happened so quick,” he said.
The delivery truck’s hood was pushed up, damaging the windshield on the passenger side. Perry said he was glad to be wearing a seat belt.
White Mills Fire and Ambulance, Honesdale EMS and White Mills Fire Police were assisting the State Police on scene.
• Honesdale Fire Department was called out at about 2 p.m. Friday to a fully involved car fire at 172 Cadjaw Pond Road.
• An hour later, at 3 p.m. Friday, Honesdale Fire Department was summoned to a two vehicle crash on North Main Street by the library.
