Jessica Braker, 23, was attempting to turn south onto Route 248 at the Route 873 intersection in a gray Honda Civic when the vehicle veered off the road around 4:20 p.m., Lehigh Township Police said.
Braker, of Palmerton, then drove across a traffic island and struck a blue Ford Edge facing north on Route 873 driven by Jason Sheckler, 49, of Palmerton, police said.
Sheckler’s vehicle was pushed into a red Subaru Legacy driven by Jim Thorpe resident Bradley Belford, 38, authorities said.
Sheckler and his passenger, Christine Sheckler, 58, were subsequently taken to Lehigh Valley Hospital for treatment of unspecified injuries.
Alcohol is suspected to have been a factor in the crash, which remained under investigation, police said.
