ARCHBALD -- A car flipped three times on the Casey Highway at Dunmore and took off.

The driver told police he couldn't afford a tow truck so he drove the car from the wreck as far as it would go, even though it was missing a tire.

"I'm just getting in the car. I don't want no tow trucks. It's gonna cost me an arm and a leg. I said let me go and try to drive and I tried to drive it home and that's when cops pulled up behind me and said this is the first day they're seein' in 20 years somebody get into their car and actually take off when it flipped three times," said Mark Wandell of Carbondale.

He made it as far as Archbald. That's when police caught up with him.

The driver and his passenger were not hurt.
