Schuylkill crash reported
State police at Schuylkill Haven reported investigating a one-vehicle crash about 8:30 a.m. on Thursday along Sweet Arrow Lake Road, in Washington Township, Schuylkill County.
Troopers said Valerie N. Schaeffer, 35, of Pine Grove, was driving a 2012 Chevrolet Cruze westbound and negotiating a right curve when she lost control. The car slid across the oncoming lane, went onto the berm and traveled about 10 feet along the shoulder and struck the guard rail. The car then spun clockwise and came to rest facing east about 30 feet off the eastbound lane.
Schaeffer and her 9-year-old female passenger were not injured. The car had to be towed.
Troopers said Schaeffer was cited for driving a vehicle at an unsafe speed.
