The car came to rest near the tree line and became stuck in mud. It was towed from the scene. The driver was charged with violation of driving on the right side of the roadway. No injuries were reported.
On Saturday a 59 year old Reading man fell asleep while driving on I-78. He too walked away unscathed.
