SHAMOKIN - No injuries were reported in a four-vehicle accident Tuesday morning at Grant and Arch streets near Northumberland County Career and Arts Center that resulted in damage to a concrete porch at a residence.
Shamokin Patrolman Scott Weaver reported Tonia Brosius, 34, of 117 N. Marshall St., Shamokin, was driving a 2003 Dodge Caravan north on Grant Street at 12:25 p.m. when she accelerated upon seeing a 1998 Oldsmobile Eighty-Eight driven west on Arch Street by Markist Kareem Moore, 34, of 126 N. Eighth St., Shamokin, coming toward her.
Police reported Moore's car collided with the left rear quarter panel and wheel area of the van, causing it to spin slightly, mount a pavement and break through a set of basement doors lying on the sidewalk.
Police said Moore's car continued in a straight path between two parked cars before striking a concrete porch attached to a home.
Police said one of the parked cars sustained minor damage to its front bumper, while the other stationary vehicle was not damaged.
Moore's auto sustained damage to its entire front end and had its windshield broken, requiring it to be towed from the scene. The van sustained minor damage.
Brosius, Moore and a few passengers involved in the accident escaped injury.
