I notice that the accident in Drifton on February 13 is not on this site. A Freeland woman was hurt pretty bad in that accident (very near the Eckley turnoff in Jeddo). Her tibia was broken, her fibula shattered, and half of her ankle disintegrated. It's been 6 months as of yesterday, and she just got out of the cast 2 weeks ago. A 19-year-old was driving an SUV with bald tires, speeding on the sleet and crossed into the oncoming traffic lane, hitting the woman head-on, driver-to-driver. There were two articles in the Speaker about it, one with pics of what was left of her car. The woman is Wendi Medashefski and the young buck was Michael Salko, Jr., both of Freeland. Salko was charged with driving at unsafe speeds. He didn't attend his hearing on those charges, and was found guilty in his absence in May.
