Thomas Cooper was driving on Route 209 about two miles east of Elizabethville, when, around 8:45 p.m., he attempted to pass another car. While doing this, a car driven by Charles Lenker Jr, of Millersburg, pulled out from a private driveway. Cooper's car brushed against Lenker's car and Cooper lost control. His car went off the roadway and struck a utility pole, shearing it in two. Cooper was treated for his injuries at the office of Dr. Herrold, in Lykens.
