According to a Pennsylvania State Police report, a one vehicle accident on Wampum Road led to a DUI arrest late Tuesday evening.
The crash occurred on State Route 288 west of its intersection with Jockey Moore Road in Wayne Township at approximately 11:45 p.m.
A 2001 Harley-Davidson motorcycle driven by Michael Wyant, 52, of New Castle, was traveling east on SR-288 and failed to negotiate a straightaway, exiting
the north berm of the roadway, striking two traffic signs and an embankment, coming to a final rest on the side of the motorcycle.
Wyant was transported from the scene by Noga Ambulance with suspected minor injuries. Wyant was not wearing a helmet or eye protection at the time of the accident.
According to the report, Wyant was arrested for suspicion of driving under the influence, and subsequently refused chemical testing.
This accident on Wampum Road comes just one week after a fatal accident on the same stretch of Wampum Road took the life of a 79-year-old Ellwood City man.
