An unidentified male driver fled on foot after crashing into another vehicle and storage shed along Valley Road in Walker Township Wednesday (April 30, 2014) night.
Emergency personnel were called around 8:30 PM to the area of 781 Valley Road for a report of a two-vehicle accident with possible entrapment.
Officials arrived to see a heavily-damaged vehicle (a black Chevrolet Cavalier) crashed into a storage shed and another damaged vehicle (a grey Volkswagen) on the grassy lawn of a nearby home. Air bags were deployed on both vehicles. The individuals, two women and one man, in the Volkswagen refused ambulatory care and opted to seek medical attention on their own.
A witness on scene said that the man that fled was wearing a red hoodie or jacket and appeared to have a tattoo on his neck. Officials noted that the Volkswagen was traveling northeast on Valley Road when it was struck by the Chevy, traveling in the opposite direction.
The demolished shed belongs to David Bensiger of 781 Valley Road. Margaret Bensinger said that vehicles routinely speed through this area.
Responding were New England/Walker Township Fire Company, Tamaqua Fire Department, Tamaqua Rescue Squad, New Ringgold Ambulance, Tamaqua Ambulance, State Police and others.

Did they apprehend the driver of the Chevy? These kids need to slow down out here in the valley, especially in the rain. He is lucky that he didn’t kill anyone.

Please don’t feel offended. When I say “kids”, I am referring to most drivers younger than my age, which includes a very wide range of drivers. I agree, a lot of adults are also careless/reckless drivers. Unfortunately, just about all of the accidents out here in the valley involve young drivers. As a matter of fact, I cannot think of any in the past 6 years that were not at the fault of young drivers, including at least two fatalities as a result of careless/reckless driving.
