Minor Injury In Sizerville Road Crash Saturday

An Emporium man suffered a minor injury but his 2000 Chevrolet sustained severe front end and undercarriage damage when his vehicle left the Sizerville Road on Saturday morning and went into the ditch.

Michael A. Pearson, 30, of Emporium, PA, was traveling north on Rt. 155, near the entrance to Sizerville State Park in Portage Township, Cameron County, when his vehicle traveled across the southbound travel lane and onto the shoulder of the roadway. It then traveled into a ditch, along the ditch for 122 feet, where it struck an embankment located in the ditch. It then traveled back onto the roadway and came to rest  facing east across the northbound lane of Rt. 155.

Pearson faces pending summary traffic charges in District Court.

Trooper John Whitcomb was assisted at the scene by members of the Emporium Fire Department and the Emporium Ambulance Service. The vehicle was towed by Ramsey's Garage.
