BERWICK — Both drivers claimed they had the right of way when they collided at a busy intersection, flipping a pickup truck and sending it sliding into a third vehicle Wednesday morning.
Gary Shaw, 35, of Sweet Valley, was driving his 2005 Ford pickup south on Market Street around 7 a.m. He told police he thought he had a green light as he entered the intersection with Front Street.
But Joshua Conlon, 31, of Berwick, was driving his 2004 Chevrolet 250 pickup east on Front Street. And he told police he also thought he had the right of way.
Conlon’s truck hit the passenger’s side of Shaw’s truck, which flipped onto its roof, then slid into the lane of oncoming traffic.
There. it hit a 2003 Chevrolet Blazer driven by Thomas Shemansky, 46, of Hazleton, which had just come off the Berwick-Nescopeck Bridge and was headed north.
No injuries were reported.
The accident remains under investigation.
