Car hits concrete barrier on I-78

Teron C. Williams, 47, of Allentown, was driving a 1993 Chevrolet Lumina when the car struck a concrete barrier 11:15 p.m. March 21 on I-78, Weisenberg Township.

According to State Police Troop M Fogels-ville, Williams was westbound I-78 when his car left the right lane, struck the concrete barrier on the bridge above Old Route 22, left the northern berm of I-78 westbound and crossed over both lanes of I-78.

Williams pulled the steering wheel to the right to avoid striking the center concrete barrier causing it to once again cross over the left and right lanes of I-78 westbound, police say. The car came to rest, perpendicular to I-78 westbound with its front bumper in the northern berm and its rear bumper in the right lane.

Police say a witness, behind the Chevrolet in the right lane, parked his vehicle on the northern berm of I-78 and helped Williams push his car from its position of rest onto the northern berm of I-78 westbound.

Williams was charged with a traffic violation, say police.
