South Whitehall Township police say a medical issue may have led a woman to crash into three other vehicles, injuring herself and one other person.
Dorothy Frey was driving a 1999 Oldsmobile on Monday morning on Walbert Avenue in South Whitehall Township.
Police said Frey drove around a 2003 Chrysler driven by Sherwood Ohlinger, also of Allentown, as Ohlinger was stopped at the red light at the intersection with Route 309.

Frey then hit the Chrysler, and kept traveling into the intersection, according to police. Frey struck a 2010 Subaru driven by Kathleen Dimmich, of Orefield, and then a PP&L service truck driven by employee Gyavira Bewayo, police said.
Frey’s car became wedged underneath the PP&L truck, police said.
Frey and Dimmich were taken to Lehigh Valley Hospital in Salisbury Township for treatment of their injuries, police said.
Police are investigating the possibility that Frey suffered a medical emergency while she was driving. The crash is under investigation.
