ORWIGSBURG — A vehicle was severely damaged Saturday when it crashed into a traffic pole near Rutter’s.

Lane restrictions were in force on Route 61 after a silver Volkswagen Jetta crashed near the new store in West Brunswick Twp. on Saturday afternoon.

The vehicle sustained heavy damage in the crash, with parts of the roof, doors and windshields displaced.

The motorist had appeared to be making a turn onto Rutter’s while heading south on Route 61 when they became involved in the accident, state police said.

Police did not know what caused the incident and declined to provide further comment Saturday.

By 4 p.m., units from the Orwigsburg Fire Department and Deer Lake & West Brunswick Fire Company No. 1 had responded to the scene.

The Rutter’s store in West Brunswick Twp. — the first in Schuylkill County — opened Tuesday.
