On Thursday, September 2, 2010 at 9:51 AM, the Upper Allen Police responded to the intersection of Allendale Road and Wilson Road for an auto accident with injuries. Police arrived on the scene to find Gorecki’s box truck overturned and blocking the roadway. The on scene investigation revealed that Smeltz, who was traveling west on Wilson Road, failed to come to a complete stop at the intersection. Smeltz’s vehicle entered the roadway and struck Gorecki’s truck, which was traveling north on Allendale Road, in the area of the rear axle. This caused Gorecki’s truck to become off balance, resulting in the truck overturning. Gorecki was transported to Hershey Medical Center for assessment of his injuries. Smeltz was not injured, and refused EMS treatment on the scene. Smelt’z vehicle was towed from the scene, and Gorecki’s truck was up-righted and towed from the scene as well.
The Upper Allen Police were assisted on the scene by the Lower Allen Township Police and Fire Departments, The Upper Allen Fire Department and West Shore EMS.
