A two-vehicle accident caused multiple problems on State Route 220, approximately two-tenths of a mile north of T-523, in Snyder Township on June 7 at 9:10 a.m.
A tractor-trailer operated by 39-year-old Su Hun Kim of Carlisle was southbound on the road, when the driver apparently fell asleep. The truck drifted across the centerline into the northbound lane and side swiped a tractor-trailer operated by 51-year-old Lawrence J. Kozak of Lilly.
After hitting Kozak’s truck, Kim’s truck continued to travel north crossing over the northbound lane of travel. The truck then left the road and traveled through a yard and struck a house owned by Morris Reese of RR 3, Tyrone.
When the truck hit the house, Kim was entrapped in the vehicle. Bald Eagle Volunteer Fire Department and AMED personnel extricated him. Kim was wearing a seat belt and suffered minor injuries. He was transported from the scene to Tyrone Hospital by AMED. The other truck driver was also wearing a seat belt and was not injured.
There were two female juveniles in the house when the truck crashed into it. The girls were not injured, according to the state police release on the incident.
Kim’s truck had severe damage while Kozak’s tractor-trailer had moderate damage. No damage estimate was given regarding the Reese property.
