Resume: State Troopers and emergency personnel responded to the area of Route 4 and Forest Drive earlier today for a single vehicle crash. 

 

A 1995 Honda Accord, operated by Johnny Dorazio, 27, of Duncan Road, was traveling Route 4 eastbound, approaching Forest Drive, when, for an unknown reason, he veered off of the south side of the roadway and struck a utility pole.  The pole was sheered in two.

Charges are pending for Mr. Dorazio as the arrest warrant is currently being processed.  An additional news release will be provided later today when the warrant is finalized.
