An 84-year-old woman from Collegeville has been charged with failing to drive on roadways laned for traffic after police allege she sideswiped an SUV with her BMW in Trappe Borough on June 18 and kept on driving.

Pennsylvania State Police said the crash occurred at 2:47 p.m. on West Main Street near Third Street, as Elaine M. Kline was driving a 2021 BMW 540 on West Main Street behind a 2019 Ford Explorer.

Kline, police said, attempted to merge into the left only turn lane, sideswiping the Explorer in the process. She then continued onto Third Street and left the scene in an unknown direction, police said.

All suspects and defendants are innocent until proven guilty. This story was compiled using public court records.
