Three teenage boys were hurt when a car flipped early today at the Route 23/Long Lane intersection near Marietta, Susquehanna Regional police said.

A 17-year-old Marietta-area boy was driving the Ford Focus west on Long Lane in East Donegal Township. He lost control when he reached Route 23, and the car traveled into an embankment and overturned at 12:12 a.m., police said.

Ambulances took the driver and his two passengers, a 14-year-old Columbia-area boy and a 17-year-old Columbia-area boy, to Lancaster General Hospital. Their identities and conditions were not released.

Speed was a possible factor, police said. The accident closed Long Lane for about 11-w hours.

Shortly after 8 a.m. today, Gordonville ambulance crews and Bird-in-Hand firefighters responded to a two-vehicle crash on Old Philadelphia Pike at Mill Creek Road near Smoketown.

Ambulances took two people to Lancaster General Hospital for treatment, East Lampeter Township police are investigating the 8:05 a.m. crash.

Earl Hostetter, 80, of 848 Ballstown Road, Lititz, remains listed in fair condition at LGH after a three-vehicle crash at 4 p.m. Tuesday on Fruitville Pike between Hess Boulevard and the York Road access artery to Route 30.

Hostetter was driving south on Fruitville Pike, and his vehicle struck a vehicle operated by Robert Colfer, 62, of 1818 Amity Drive, which was stopped in traffic, police said.

The impact pushed Colfer's vehicle into a vehicle driven by Brenda Mertz, 37, of 151 W. Sixth Ave., Lititz, police said.

After striking Colfer's vehicle, Hostetter's vehicle traveled across the northbound lanes of Fruitville Pike and struck a sign in the 200 block of Hess Boulevard, police said.

The Hostetter and Colfer vehicles both required towing, police said. The accident investigation continues.

A car driven by Jaelene L. Weaver, 23, of Lititz, rolled over early Wednesday morning on Clay School Road in Clay Township, Ephrata state police said.

Weaver was driving a 1996 Volkswagen Jetta south at a high rate of speed and missed a right curve at about 2:15 a.m., Trooper Joseph R. Hartranft said.

The car crossed over a double-yellow line and struck the curb, a mailbox at 55 Clay School Road, and a fire hydrant before it rolled over, Hartranft said. The vehicle came to rest on its wheels in the southbound lane.

A witness heard the crash, saw Weaver crawl out of the car, and gave her a ride home, Hartranft said.

Weaver was later taken to Ephrata Community Hospital. She is being charged with driving while under the influence of intoxicants, the trooper said.
