Tragedy avoided in reservoir crash

ROARING BROOK TWP. - Two teens are lucky to be alive after nearly crashing their car into the Williams Bridge reservoir Friday night, police said.

Cody Evans of Scranton and Shane Donovan of Moscow, both 17, were driving south on Route 307 just before 11 p.m. when a deer darted in front of their vehicle, Officer Robert Krawczyk said. Cody swerved and careened into a guardrail at the edge of the reservoir.

"We could've been looking at a whole different scenario," said Officer Krawczyk. Cody was within the speed limit, and no charges will be filed, he said.

Both boys were treated for injuries at Community Medical Center.
