DUI-related crash
SUNBURY - Robyn L. Crouthamel, 43, of Mount Carmel, will be charged by Trooper Daniel Wilk with driving under the influence of alcohol and failure to drive in a single lane relating to a two-vehicle accident Sunday night on Market Street (Route 61) near Highland Avenue.
Police reported Crouthamel, who is a deaf mute, was driving a 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee south at 9:45 p.m. near the Upper Augusta Township line when the vehicle crossed into the oncoming lane while the driver negotiated a slight right curve. Police said the front end of Crouthamel's vehicle struck the driver's side front fender of a 2004 Pontiac Montana operated by Dionne M. Eckert, 37, of Sunbury.
Police said Crouthamel fled the scene, but was subsequently stopped on Route 61 at Stonington Fire Department.
Police were unable to interview Crouthamel because she is mute and was allegedly under the influence of alcohol.
Both drivers escaped injury.
