William McCarthy, 45, of Great Meadows, allegedly drove the wrong-way on a one-way street in Tamaqua — a town about half-hour away from Hazleton — at about 2:34 p.m. on June 16, sideswiped a parked vehicle with his Nissan Armada SUV and then fled the scene north on Route 309, according to Tamaqua police.
Police later learned a vehicle matching the description of McCarthy’s Nissan was involved in motor vehicle crashes in Hazleton and were able to positively identify McCarthy as the driver involved in the Tamaqua crash.
