The Sweden Township Police Chief suffered minor injuries in a weather-related traffic accident Thursday afternoon.
According to officers, Chief Bryan Phelps was traveling on Route 6 when he entered a sudden severe rainstorm. Seeing a large body of water in the road, Phelps tried to avoid the puddle but lost control of his vehicle. The car hit an embankment and rolled onto its roof.
Phelps refused medical treatment on the scene, but later went to UPMC Cole, where he was treated and released.
