May 28 Police Blotter from Swarthmore Police Chief Raymond C. Stufflet - May 11-24

May 11-24

May 12, 12:51 p.m.: Two cars were traveling east on the 1100 block of Baltimore Pike (near the intersection with Riverview Road) when they stopped for a red light. When the light turned green, both cars started to move. But the front car stopped again, and the second car struck it — then left the scene. The driver of the second car was stopped by police a short time later on Woodlyn Avenue in Morton. No one was hurt, and neither car was significantly damaged.
May 12, 1:17 p.m.: Two cars were traveling west on Yale Avenue when the front car stopped at the light at Chester Road. The rear car failed to stop in time and hit the front car. Both cars had to be towed. The driver of the rear car complained of back pain and was taken to Riddle Hospital.
May 17, 4:16 p.m.: A car traveling south on the 300 block of Chester Road drifted into the northbound lane and — when the driver was affected by sun glare — sideswiped a northbound car. The southbound car was disabled and had to be towed. No one was hurt.

Police responded to six alarm calls, including fire alarms, panic alarms, and false burglar alarms.

Police responded to seven medical emergencies, assisting medics and the Swarthmore ambulance.
