| Description | STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) — A real estate executive seeking an open congressional seat in central Pennsylvania acknowledged Thursday he had been drinking and was in no condition to drive when he crashed his car a year ago, then left the scene.
Republican Matt Shaner, who announced this week he will seek to replace the retiring U.S. Rep. John Peterson, said in an interview Thursday he made a big mistake when he left the accident site without speaking to police.
No one was injured in the single-vehicle accident Jan. 19, 2007 in Patton Township. But Shaner was fined more than $500 after pleading guilty to running a stop sign, failing to report an accident and accidents involving damage to an unattended vehicle or property. |
