LACKAWANNOCK TWP, PA : Trooper injured in crash on Saturday, December, 16th 2017

A Pennsylvania State Police trooper is recovering from leg injuries following a car accident while on the job.

The trooper, who was not identified, was traveling eastbound in an unmarked car shortly after 4 p.m. Saturday on I-80 in Lackawannock Township. Behind him, the trooper saw a car traveling west make a U-turn through the median and head toward him, according to a press release.

Police said the other car, driven by 25-year-old Leah Bonzo, of West Middlesex, was allegedly traveling erratically and at high speed, went to pass the trooper’s car when it swerved to the right. The unmarked police car’s front driver’s side was struck by the front passenger side of Bonzo’s vehicle.

Bonzo’s car continued right until it hit the concrete barrier, then the guard rail and eventually came to a rest in the right lane.

No charges were immediately filed against Bonzo but her passenger, William Feydo, 24, also of West Middlesex, was arrested on multiple warrants and taken to Mercer County Jail. Bonzo was released to family members, and the trooper is recovering at home, the release said.

The wreck remains under investigation.
