Tuesday afternoon a man drove his car into the Whitehall Mini-Mart at 3690 Lehigh Street in Whitehall. Lehigh County 9-1-1 dispatched fire, EMS and police. Chief 35 (Nelson) arrived and found the driver out of the car and not injured and recalled the rescue assignment holding the call to one engine and Cetronia EMS.
Two months prior, a car hit the same store just 25 feet west of this hit. The store is currently being repaired from that incident. A number of crashes into the mini-mart have occurred over the years.
