OLIVER TOWNSHIP, Pa. – Punxsutawney-based State Police say around 5:30 p.m. on October 5, a one-vehicle accident occurred on London Road, south of Clark Road, in Oliver Township, Jefferson County.
According to police, a 17-year-old male, of Punxsutawney, was traveling east on London Road when he lost control of his 2003 Chevrolet Silverado as a result of speed and inexperience.

The vehicle then began to rotate counterclockwise before the front driver’s side tire made contact with a small embankment on the north shoulder of the roadway. The vehicle continued to rotate counterclockwise, then rolled over, coming to a final rest on its roof.
The 17-year-old driver and two other 17-year-old males, also of Punxsutawney, were using seat belts and were not injured.
The driver of the vehicle was charged with a traffic violation.
