<p>Ashley police returned to the scene Wednesday morning after a three-vehicle crash that injured six people Tuesday night. Police Chief Phillip Collotty said the investigation is continuing to determine the cause of the crash that occurred just after 10 p.m. A Chevrolet Blazer operated by Carl Yeager of Sugar Notch was southbound on North Main Street when it struck a Jeep Cherokee driven by Rebecca Smith of Larksville, police said. The Blazer lost a front wheel and traveled approximately 300 feet where it struck a utility pole near the intersection with Hazleton Street and a Mitsubishi sedan operated by Justina Schell of Hanover Township, police said. The Blazer rolled onto its side against the Mitsubishi and Yeager was partially ejected and pinned beneath the Blazer, police said. A passenger, Jonathan Stempien of White Haven, was trapped inside the vehicle, police said. The two men were later freed from the wreckage. Two other adults and two children were taken to area hospitals for evaluation. North Main Street was closed approximately three hours from Hazleton Street to Cemetery Street while police investigated the crash and Verizon workers removed downed wires.</p>
