The day started off at about 0200 with a reported car vs. ped on Warner Rd. Around noon time crews were dispatched to a reported dwelling fire off of Watercrest Rd.- Crews arrived on scene to find the oven fire extinguished. A short time later Station 43 was dispatched to an MVA at the intersection of State Rd. and Sugar Hollow. Crews found a single vehicle off the roadway with the driver confined to the vehicle due to the number of trees in the area. Members removed the trees and transferred to the patient to EMS.
Interesting update to the MVA call from the Poconorecord.com
Crash victim found with gunshot wounds, flown to hospital
December 26, 2007
CHESTNUTHILL TOWNSHIP — An Effort man was pulled from his vehicle and found with “multiple” gunshot wounds at a Tuesday crash scene near State and Sugar Hollow roads, state police said.
Edvin Villegas, 22, was flown to Lehigh Valley Hospital from the scene of the 1:20 p.m. crash. Hospital personnel do not release patient information due to confidentiality laws, so Villegas’ condition is unknown.
Villegas was heading east on State Road toward Sugar Hollow Road when he lost control of his 1999 Toyota Camry while going around a curve, went off the road, about 380 feet into the woods, and hit a tree. Police have not specified how many times and where on his body he was shot.
Police are investigating and have no suspects in custody at this time. Anyone with information is asked to call police at (570) 646-2271.
