A woman from Rossiter who was in a single-vehicle accident and fled the scene went to the hospital where the police were notified.
According to the Pennsylvania State Police in Punxsutawney, 37 year old Brandy Reitz was driving north on Dombs Road in Young Township and failed to follow a curve near Canoe Ridge Road, crossed into the other lane, off the road, through an electric fence, and a ditch before hitting a tree disabling the vehicle.
After allegedly fleeing the scene, Reitz went home and then to the Punxsutawney Area Hospital for treatment of injuries. Hospital staff called State Police and reported the accident. It’s also alleged she had admitted to drinking; however, it’s unclear to whom.
Reitz is charged with failing to notify police of an accident.
