Posted by Press Release on March 16, 2015

The Westtown-East Goshen Regional Police Department is seeking assistance from the public with locating a white pick-up truck that was involved in a hit-and-run accident on Monday, March 16, at 6:22 a.m., a press release said.

Westtown-East Goshen Police are looking for the driver of a white pickup who struck this utility pole and fled.

Police said the crash occurred on Manley Road at the intersection of Diane Drive in Westtown Township. A westbound white pick-up truck, possibly a Ford, with a snowplow set-up, left the roadway and stuck a utility pole. This pick-up truck suffered moderate front-end damage and fled the scene eastbound on Manley Road.

The driver, who was identified as a male, struck a township street sign and then caused damage to a lawn in the area after shearing off a utility pole that contained lines for PECO, Verizon and Comcast. As a result, police said Manley Road will be closed to traffic for several hours, and utility service in the area will also be impacted during the repair work on the pole and lines.

Anyone with information about the driver or vehicle is asked to call the Westtown-East Goshen Regional Police Department at 610-692-5100.
