Cops still seek driver in crash
SCRANTON - A man who survived crashing his sport utility vehicle into a car, guardrail and tree on the Central Scranton Expressway on Monday only to tumble 200 feet down a ravine then get up and walk away has yet to be located, police said.
Acting Scranton Police Chief Carl Graziano said officers contacted the city's hospitals and the Fire Department searched the area where the 2001 Ford Explorer landed after the crash but the driver remains unaccounted for.
City police did locate the owner of the vehicle, Theresa Cantelmo of 140 Meridian Ave., who said she "gave" the car to a man in September but did not know his address or name.
Ms. Cantelmo did provide a cellphone number for the suspected driver, but efforts to contact him were not successful, Chief Graziano said.
