Leet Man Facing Violations after Three-Car Crash in Leetsdale

Police said Friday's collision happened on Route 65 at Spencer Street.

 

A Leet Township man is facing driving violations following a three-car crash today on Route 65 in Leetsdale.

Leetsdale police cited Nathan Powers with summary offenses that included fraudulent use of plates, driving with an unregistered vehicle, driving without insurance and driving without inspection.

The crash happened at 11:44 a.m. in the southbound lanes of 65 after Michael Meerdo of Baden stopped to make a lefthand turn at Spencer Street.

Police said Powers was waiting for Meerdo to turn when a car driven by Scott Stewart of Beaver struck Powers' car, causing a reaction that pushed Powers' car into Meerdo's vehicle.

Wet weather may have played a factor, police said. No one was injured, police said.

Is this really breaking news? Come on Patch, next thing you know we will hear about someone jaywalking across Beaver Street. It's OK to keep us informed, but do we really need to know who is getting a summary offense for causing an accident?

Who said anything about "breaking news?" Three drivers were involved in an accident today and this is at least the third that's happened on that stretch of the boulevard. So there's the news. Thanks for reading.

Thanks to both of you, really. I appreciate the feedback. I'm not interested in jaywalkers ;-) but I am always looking for good story ideas. If you know of anything interesting happening around town, feel free to drop me a line in the comments or email me at larissa.dudkiewicz@patch.com
