Drivers of both vehicles were injured and taken to an area hospital, said Sgt. Darren Wendling. There were no other passengers in either vehicle, he said. The sedan, driven by John Dilli, Sr., of Briarwood Lane in Nazareth, was going north on Georgetown Road when witnesses said it ran the stop sign and was struck on the passenger side by the westbound truck, driven by Terrence Montes, of Sunset Terrace in Palmerton, Wendling said. Both Dilli and Montes were transported to St. Luke's Hospital in Fountain Hill for treatment. Montes was listed in good condition this evening, according to a hospital nursing supervisor. The supervisor did not have information on Dilli. No one has been cited so far, Wendling said, but added the investigation is in its early stages and is continuing.
