The incident involved a 2023 Mazda CX‑50 traveling westbound on the two‑lane, east‑west oriented roadway. According to the report, the vehicle left the paved surface, struck a support cable for a utility pole, and came to rest on the southern side of the road.

No motorist or non‑motorist safety equipment deficiencies were noted, and no EMS transport was required. The Coudersport Fire Department provided on‑scene assistance.
While the driver was not charged with a criminal offense, the PSP issued a written warning for a primary violation of 33 Pa.C.S. § 3301(a) – “Driving on the right side of the roadway – general rule.” The warning was recorded as a “Written Warning 3301A” in the agency’s documentation. No bail, fines, restitution, or court appearance were required, as the matter was handled administratively.
Information regarding the driver’s name, age, and any additional personal details was not listed in the publicly released crash report. Likewise, no arresting agency beyond the Pennsylvania State Police was identified, and no judicial officer or magistrate was involved because the incident did not proceed to criminal court.</n
The case remains open in the PSP’s records pending any further investigative findings, though the preliminary nature of the report indicates that no additional legal action is anticipated at this time.
