Police investigate

Pottsville police investigated a crash that occurred about 9:45 p.m. Monday at West Market Street and Westwood Road, Routes 209 and 901.
At the scene, police said, they found a 2000 Mercury Mountaineer driven by Bryanna Maley, 18, of Forestville, on its roof facing west partially blocking the intersection, and a 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee driven by Kurt Brobst, 23, of Schuylkill Haven, stopped in the middle of the intersection.

Maley was taken to Schuylkill Medical Center-East Norwegian Street by Pottsville-Schuylkill Haven Area EMS for treatment while Houser and Brobst were not hurt, police said.
Pottsville firefighters assisted at the scene and police said Brobst will be cited for a red light violation.
