Police said he was treated at the scene by personnel from the Lehigh Valley Health Network EMS unit, but refused a medical transport.

He was driving a 1998 Honda Civic eastbound when it struck a deer, crossed into the westbound lane, went off the roadway, and hit an embankment and a utility pole, police said.

The car was towed from the scene.

Police said Madden was transported by personnel from the Wind Gap Ambulance Corps to the St. Luke’s Hospital-Monroe, Stroudsburg, while Seibel was transported by the St. Luke’s Emergency and Transport Services to the Lehigh Valley Hospital-Pocono, East Stroudsburg.

The crash occurred when Madden, driving a 2021 Toyota north on Route 115, attempted a left turn onto Astolat Road directly in the path of a southbound 2019 Buick Envision driven by Seibel, striking it, police said. Both vehicles were towed from the scene.
