A female driver was taken for treatment at a local hospital Monday after her car struck a concrete curb in Rush Township during a driving rainstorm.

Emergency responders were dispatched by the Schuylkill Communications Center about 5:15 p.m. for a report of a car crash with injuries at Claremont Avenue (Route 309) near Turkey Hill Minit Market.

Those at the scene said it appeared the driver was attempting to enter the parking lot of the convenience store by way of Oak Lane and drove into the concrete curb, causing the car's airbag to deploy.

Responding in addition to Rush Township police were Hometown Fire Company and Tamaqua Rescue Squad.

More information as it becomes available.

The crash is the fourth collision in Hometown in four days. A two-car crash Thursday on Route 54 not far from the Route 309 and 54 intersection at Hometown was followed by two additional two-car crashes within an hour on Friday, one at the Hometown intersection, the other at the Claremont Avenue/TIDE Road intersection.
