Teen driving without glasses hits pedestrians in Nazareth

A mother and daughter from Nazareth were injured Thursday night when they were hit by a car outside of Nazareth Area High School.

Police Chief Bruce Ruch said Caroline M. Strack, 49, and her daughter Samantha Strack, 15, were crossing Center Street about 7:30 p.m. when they were struck by a vehicle driven by Sarah Firman, 17, of Farmview Road, Upper Nazareth Township.

Police were assisted on scene by Upper Nazareth police and Nazareth EMS. Ruch said initial reports said Caroline Strack was seriously injured, but both victims were walking around by the time police responded. They were taken by ambulance to St. Luke’s Hospital.

Ruch said that Firman was not speeding, but she is being cited for driving without her glasses. Ruch said the citation usually is accompanied by a fine and a point on the driver’s record. “I’ve been here for 27 years and I think this is the first time I’ve seen that as a citation,” Ruch said. “We’re just happy no one was seriously hurt.”
