Two People Hurt in Route 309 Accident

South Whitehall police report an accident on Route 309 North near Tilghman Street on Dec. 2 at 11:36 p.m.

According to the report, Rebecca Jones, 22, of 244 W. Emaus Ave., Allentown, told police she was driving north in the left lane of Route 309 at Tilghman Street when a dark-colored SUV swerved from the right lane into the left lane and caused her to swerve.
