A tree landed on a passing car Sunday afternoon along Route 22 in Bethlehem Township<\/a> with the occupants narrowly escaping serious injury, state police said.<\/p>\n

Pennsylvania State Police <\/a>Trooper Nathan Branosky, a spokesman for the Troop M barracks, told lehighvalleylive.com the incident began just before 3 p.m. in the westbound lanes of the highway.<\/p>\n

The 2013 Kia Optima was being driven by a 22-year-old man from Boiling Springs, Cumberland County. The driver and his passenger, a 21-year-old man from Carlisle, Cumberland County, were wearing seat belts at the time of impact, Branosky said.<\/p>\n

The men escaped serious injury, he said.<\/p>\n

The tree blocked the westbound lanes of travel, shutting down a portion of Route 22 around the crash scene for about a half hour.<\/p>\n

Pennsylvania State Police in Belfast are handling the investigation.<\/p>\n
