Tamaqua woman injured in crash

A Tamaqua woman was injured in a two-vehicle crash early Tuesday morning in Tamaqua.

Zalane Kunkel, 30, was operating a white Kia in the unit block of Spruce Street at 2:06 a.m. when she apparently fell asleep. The Kia drifted into the other lane and struck a red Kenworth tractor. Damage to the rig was moderate while the Kia sustained heavy front end damage.

Kunkel complained of chest pain and was transported to a Pottsville hospital in the Tamaqua Community Ambulance. The Kia was towed from the scene.
