    Three injured in vehicle rollover, two 'badly', in Ridgebury

    The Towanda Daily Review:

    RIDGEBURY — An accident in Ridgebury Thursday evening left three men injured, according to Ridgebury Fire Chief Glen Leonard, with two “severely critical.”

    Leonard said one man was airlifted to Robert Packer Hospital while the other two were taken there by Greater Valley EMS. He thought the accident occurred around 6:30 p.m.
    The accident occurred where Wolcott Hollow Road and Chapel Road meet. Ridgebury Assistant Chief Kevin Chapman, who was first on the scene, said that by judging from the skid marks the vehicle was heading south on Wolcott Hollow Road. Wolcott Hollow Road makes a sharp turn near a hill, which is where the vehicle skidded off the road on the northbound side and clipped two trees, then turned onto Chapel Road. The vehicle came to a rest on Chapel Road, where Chapman found the vehicle. The vehicle was facing north towards Wolcott Hollow Road, he mentioned.

    Two of the men, Chapman said, had been ejected and were injured from “head to toe.” The third, he added, had gotten out of the vehicle. Chapman told him to sit by the side of the road.

    He said all three men had head injuries as they all had blood on their heads. Chapman, who lives nearby, immediately reported that they were serious injuries.

    Debris was scattered all over the yard where the two trees stood and included the car’s front bumper, a hat and two shoes."

    ****It appears that from the description of the two men being ejected from the vehicle, that they were not wearing their seat belts.  As this accident demonstrates, wearing your seat belt is such a simple act that could very welll save your life.
