A tanker truck ran a red light Friday afternoon in Lehigh County, slamming into a minivan whose driver was left with suspected serious injuries, according to police.
The crash occurred about 12:03 p.m. as the Kenworth T800 was headed south on Grange Road and continued through the red light at Cetronia Road in Upper Macungie Township, according to township police, citing witnesses’ reports.
The 2006 Chrysler Town & Country that was struck was traveling through the intersection east on Cetronia Road, police said in a news release.
A 21-year-old man from Allentown driving the minivan “was heavily entrapped in his vehicle and required extrication by the fire department,” the release states.
He was taken by Cetronia Ambulance to Lehigh Valley Hospital, Salisbury Township, according to police.
The tanker driver was a 22-year-old man from Kutztown, who was uninjured, police said.
Both drivers wore seat belts, and both vehicles had to be towed away, according to police.
The crash closed the intersection for nearly four hours, until about 3:45 p.m. It remains under investigation.
