Car accident injures 3

State College resident Nevin Gensimore told State College police he was driving a brown Porsche eastbound in the right lane on College Avenue traveling 65 miles per hour. He changed lanes to avoid hitting another car in the left lane, traveled through the turning lane and ended up in the lane of oncoming traffic, State College police said.

Gensimore's car then hit three other cars before coming to rest in the right lane of westbound East College Avenue, State College police said.

Gensimore and another driver were treated at Centre Community Hospital for minor injuries and released, State College police said. After Alpha Fire Company members freed driver Michael Eldred, a Howard resident, from his car, Alpha Community Ambulance Service transported him to Centre Community Hospital.

He was admitted to the intensive care unit for head injuries, State College police said.

Eldred was still in ICU and reported to be in serious condition yesterday, said Cay Griel, clinical coordinator at Centre Community Hospital.

All those injured in the accident suffered head injuries and had difficulty remembering the details of the accident, State College police said.

The fourth driver did not receive medical attention, State College police said.

Sgt. John Wilson of State College police said the police are still investigating the accident and it was unknown whether alcohol was involved.
