Wilkes Barre, PA : Two people died in a one-car accident on Kunkle Road in Dallas Twp on Saturday, July 1, 2017
Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania
Two people died in a one-car accident on Kunkle Road in Dallas Twp. late Saturday afternoon, according to township police Chief Robert Jolley.
One male and one female died in the accident but authorities had not yet identified the victims as of 7 p.m., Jolley said.
The accident happened at about 5:40 p.m. as a yellow Chevrolet Cavalier lost control and crashed into a tree in a yard in the 600 block of Kunkle Road, according to Jolley.
The car appeared to be heavily damaged as crews worked to remove the victims. A Luzerne County deputy coroner was at the scene, along with police, fire and ambulance crews from Dallas Twp., Dallas borough, Kunkle and Harveys Lake.
The roadway was wet at the time of the crash after a soaking rain earlier in the day though the rain had stopped, Jolley said.
It appears the driver was coming from the direction of Harveys Lake, traveling toward Route 309, when the vehicle lost control and spun or skidded off the road into the tree, the chief said.
