Auckland, 69, of Quakertown, State Police Troop M Fogelsville say.

Police say the Volvo turned toward the left berm of the roadway.

Levine attempted to correct this and apparently lost control of the vehicle, which began to spin in a clockwise direction.

The vehicle traveled from the left berm in a northwestern direction across the left lane of the road.

The front driver's side hit the rear driver's side of the pickup, which began to spin in a counter clockwise direction.

The pickup rolled onto its passenger side, then onto its roof, traveled across the left lane and came to final rest on its roof facing southeast, partially blocking the left lane of I-78 westbound.

The Volvo came to a final rest on the right berm on I-78. The left lane of I-78 westbound was closed for approximately 30 minutes, police say.

Levine, who was wearing her seat belt, was uninjured, police say.

Auckland and his passenger Phyllis Auckland, 68, of Quakertown, who were both wearing their seat belts, sustained minor injuries.

Both Aucklands were transported by Cetronia Ambulance Corps to Lehigh Valley Hospital, Salisbury Township.

Both vehicles sustained disabling damage and were towed from the scene by Getz Towing.

Upper Macungie Township Fire Department assisted at the scene.

Levine will be cited before District Judge Michael Faulkner, Upper Macungie Township.
