SOUTH GIBSON TOWNSHIP, SUSQUEHANNA COUNTY -- A car accident this morning sends one person to the hospital and shuts down a Susquehanna County road.

It happened along Route 92 in South Gibson Township at about 6:30 this morning. Police say Abralyn Weidow of Susquehanna was driving when she hit a deer - then a pick-up truck.

Her car ended up on its side, but she was doing fine. Hayden Sutton of Clarks Summit was driving the pick-up truck. He was taken to CMC for treatment.

Eyewitness News talked with his brother at the scene. He said, "He called me at home. I was waiting to go hunting with him. And waiting for him to come pick me up. And he said, 'I had an accident. Would you come down and pick me up?'"

Keith Sutton says his brother went to the hospital with neck pain.

That stretch of Route 92 was closed for about an hour, but has since reopened.
