Numerous citations issued in Rush Township underage driver case

A 12-year-old Osceola Mills girl was cited for “numerous violations” after a July 17 crash.

State police at Philipsburg say the girl was driving north on State Street in Rush Township when she tried to go around a left curve and lost control of the 2000 Chevrolet Impala, exiting the road and striking an embankment.

She continued to drive north on the east side of the road, striking several small trees and shrubs before getting the car back on the road and leaving the scene. She drove about two miles before the car became inoperable and stopped in the northbound lane.

Tamara R. Wohl, 21, of Sandy Ridge, a passenger, was also cited, but police did not detail offenses for either the minor or Wohl.

Both received what police called minor injuries. Another passenger, a 9-year-old Philipsburg girl, received major injuries, according to the police report.
