A 19-year-old Clearfield man was traveling north, while a vehicle operated by Debra J. Bressler, 58, of Curwensville was traveling south. The man was negotiating a right-hand curve in the roadway when he lost control of his vehicle on the snow-covered roadway.

Bressler was transported to the Clearfield Hospital with minor injuries. Both vehicles were towed from the scene. The man was cited for driving vehicle at a safe speed.

Schimmel, 20, of Lancaster was traveling in the right-hand lane next to a passing tractor-trailer. The tractor-trailer crossed over into the right lane, forcing the Schimmel vehicle off the roadway. At that point, the vehicle began sliding in a clockwise motion in which it crossed both lanes, entering the center median. There, it collided with a culvert, causing the Schimmel vehicle to overturn several times. The tractor-trailer continued westbound. Schimmel wasn’t injured and was wearing his seatbelt. His vehicle was towed from the scene.
