MINOR INJURIES, 4-VEHICLE ACCIDENT FRIDAY
Foster Township Police report suspected minor injuries following a Friday evening four-vehicle accident on Derrick Road; however, upon arrival of the police, all occupants of the vehicles were out of their vehicles.
According to the report, a vehicle driven by Leonard K. Winslow, 33, of Olean, N.Y. was traveling westbound on Derrick Road when the crash occurred.
Another vehicle, driven by Desiree L. Alcock, 24, of Bradford, was traveling eastbound and stopped in front of the parking lot of the Model T, waiting to turn left into the lot.
A witness vehicle was preparing to leave the Model T parking lot and was approaching the berm of the roadway.
Winslow’s vehicle was reportedly traveling at a high rate of speed, believed that the witness vehicle was entering the roadway, attempted to swerve into the oncoming traffic lane to avoid a collision, and struck Alcock’s vehicle. This caused Alcock’s vehicle to rotate approximately 180 degrees and travel back westbound approximately 50 feet, before coming to a final rest facing west on Route 346 in the westbound lane, the report stated.
Winslow’s vehicle continued after striking Alcock’s vehicle, veering off to the right of the roadway and striking a third vehicle and pushing it into a fourth vehicle. The third and fourth vehicles were legally parked, next to each other, and completely off the roadway.
Police investigated on scene and witnesses described to them that Winslow’s vehicle came out of nowhere, and was traveling at a speed greater than the speed limit and normal traffic flow, the report read.
The owner of the third vehicle was notified of the incident. And, before police arrived, the fourth vehicle had left the scene with minor damage.
Both Winslow and Alcock were reported to have been wearing seatbelts at the time of the accident. Both were treated by the Bradford City Fire Department at the scene for suspected minor injuries. Neither was transported to a medical facility.
Through their investigation, officers found that Winslow was driving with a suspended license, for which he was charged. He was also charged for failing to drive on the right half of the roadway, careless driving, and driving a vehicle at a safe speed.
The vehicles driven by Winslow and Alcock were towed from the scene.
