Crash leads to DUI charge pending

A one vehicle crash in Schuylkill County has led to a charge of driving under the influence (DUI) pending against the driver.

State police at Schuylkill Haven said Debra Ann Zerbey, of Port Carbon, was exiting the Pottsville Park Plaza about 4:04 p.m. on Friday, Jan. 15, in a 1985 Lincoln Town Car when she took the turn too wide and struck a stop sign and concrete light post at Scanlon Beverage, located along Mill Avenue, in Norwegian Township. Zerbey was not injured and damages were minor to the car.

Zerbey showed signs of intoxication and was transported to the Schuylkill Medical Center South, Pottsville, for a blood test. Troopers said the DUI charge is pending the test results.
