A 21-year-old Mill Creek man was involved in a one-vehicle accident on State Route 350 near South Mountain Road in Taylor Township, Centre County on Tuesday at 8:50 p.m.
The accident happened when Kendall E. Kauffman was driving a tractor trailer north on the road behind a line of traffic. The line of vehicles suddenly slowed and Kauffman realized there was insufficient room for him to stop his truck without hitting another vehicle in front of him.
He swerved off the road and struck a ditch head-on. The impact caused the load of logs he was hauling to break free and fall off his trailer. Kauffman was cited for following too closely.
He was wearing a seat belt and was not injured. His tractor trailer had moderate damage.
