According to Punxsutawney-based State Police, the crash occurred around 9:32 a.m., on Wednesday, June 15, as a 2005 Mack Truck operated by 35-year-old Corwen Lane, of Punxsutawney, was traveling north on Locust Lane, in Canoe Township, Indiana County.

Both Lane and his vehicle were later identified by authorities.

The truck sustained minor damage.
Lane was cited for “Accidents Involving Damage to Unattended Vehicle or Property,” police said.
