Two Allentown men were injured when they crashed their pickup truck while fleeing from police early Friday morning in Lehigh County, according to authorities.
Troopers tried to pulled the truck over about 2:30 a.m. in the area of 31st Street and West Emmaus Avenue in Allentown, state police said in a news release. When officers turned on their lights and sirens, the truck fled and the driver lost control before hitting a tree in the 3100 block of Lindberg Avenue, the release states.
The men, both 30, were taken to Lehigh Valley Hospital-Cedar Crest for treatment of their injuries. Police closed Fish Hatchery Road at Oxford Drive and 24th Street at Lindberg Avenue while they investigated.
