The first crash happened in the 1800 block of SR72 in North Lebanon Township on Oct. 22 around 2 a.m., according to the release. 

In that incident, an 18-year-old Fredricksburg woman who was driving a 2006 Nissan Altima admitted to drinking alcohol and smoking weed before driving and was charged following a blood draw, the police explain in the release.  

She was treated for minor injuries at WellSpan Good Samaritan Hospital, according to the police. 

After about 5 minutes a 2015 black Acura MDX slammed into a State Trooper's car— instead of stopping he attempted to flee— but accidentally into a cement mailbox, as detailed in the release. 

The 46-year-old Philadelphia driver was arrested and also charged with a DUI for drinking alcohol.

Neither drivers's names were released.

State police in Jonestown continue to investigate these crashes.
