The investigation revealed that Ernest Howells, 30, of Tamaqua was traveling South on the Gordon Nagle Trail and attempted to turn left into the Sheetz parking lot. While doing so, Howells drove into the path of a northbound vehicle being driven by a 36-year-old Pottsville woman.
Both vehicles sustained moderate damage and were towed from the scene. No injuries were reported. The Pottsville Fire Department assisted with traffic control and scene clean up.
Due to Howells turning left where multiple “no left turn” signs are posted, he will be cited for obedience to traffic control devices.
