TAMAQUA, Pa. (AP) - State police have released the names of three people killed in what they say was an alcohol-related crash in central Pennsylvania.
Police in Schuylkill County say a pickup truck trying to make a left turn onto Route 209 in Walker Township collided with a car around 9:30 p.m. Tuesday. The pickup went airborne and over a guardrail, striking several trees, while the car spun and traveled about 30 feet before hitting the guardrail.
Twenty-four-year-old pickup driver Zachary Kabana of Tamaqua was pronounced dead at the scene, as were the two people in the car, 24-year-old Jeremy Behler of Tuscarora and 23-year-old Kylee Mullen of Lehighton. A 17-year-old female passenger in the truck was flown to Lehigh Valley Hospital-Cedar Crest.
Authorities say the pickup driver was driving under the influence.
