Woman injured in Wysox Twp. crash
Deborah Chilson, 49, of Towanda suffered a minor injury in a recent three-vehicle accident on U.S. Route 6 in Wysox Township, police said.
All three vehicles were traveling east on Route 6 when the accident occurred, police said.
Gary L. Armitage of Wysox was slowing down for traffic in front of him, and Francis Chilson of Towanda, who was traveling directly behind Armitage, was also slowing down, police said.
Tariq A. Malik of Columbia Cross Roads was unable to stop his vehicle, and the front of Malik's vehicle struck the back bumper of Francis Chilson's vehicle, which was in turn pushed into the rear of Armitage's vehicle, police said.
Deborah Chilson, who was a passenger in Francis Chilson's vehicle, was transported to Memorial Hospital in Towanda for further evaluation, police said.
None of the drivers were injured in the accident, police said. There was also a child in Francis Chilson's vehicle, but state police did not identify the child or state whether the child was injured.
Malik, 27, received a traffic citation, police said.
Francis Chilson, 55, was cited because he allowed a child under 8 years old to be transported in his vehicle without a booster seat, police said.
The accident occurred at 5:17 p.m. Friday, 230 feet east of Pennsylvania Avenue, state police at Towanda said.
