An Allentown man is charged with DUI and leaving the scene of an accident after Lower Saucon Township Police say he caused a March 17 crash at Seidersville and Hickory Hill roads that left another motorist injured, with blood on his hands and face.

In a news release issued Wednesday, police said Sean Wolf, 36, of the 200 block of Susquehanna Trail, allegedly crossed over the center line on Hickory Hill Road and struck the car the other man was driving, before continuing down Hickory Hill and turning onto East Raders Lane.

Police said Wolf parked his “heavily damaged” vehicle in a driveway on East Raders Lane–about a quarter mile from the accident scene–and told officers he had been looking for a safe place to pull off the roadway when they located him there shortly after 5 p.m.

They added that Wolf allegedly admitted to hitting the other vehicle.

Police said Wolf’s blood alcohol content was determined to be .18 percent, which is more than double the legal limit of .08 percent.

The vehicle Wolf struck sustained disabling damage, they added.
