Teens Unhurt in Separate Crashes
Two teenagers escaped injury in separate accidents in Potter County Thursday, but they’re both facing charges.
Police say at 3:15 Thursday afternoon a 16-year-old girl from Genesee was driving a pickup truck on Ridge Road, about half a mile south of Route 449, when a deer walked onto the road. She swerved to avoid the deer, but then left the road and hit an embankment, where the car was hit by a fallen tree.
At 9:15 Thursday night a 17-year-old boy from Port Allegany was driving on Route 6 about a mile west of Coudersport when his car went out of control, traveled through a yard, hit some blueberry bushes and came to rest straddling a culvert and a small stream.
Neither teen was hurt, but they will both be charged with driving at an unsafe speed.
