(Gibsonia, Pa.) Pennsylvania State Police in Gibsonia are reporting that they were called to the scene of a one vehicle accident in the parking lot of the Pa State Police Barracks along the Pa Turnpike in Gibsonia.

Troopers say via release that they were dispatched at 12:37 PM Sunday morning after 25-year-old Kouassi M’Mlo from Silver Spring Maryland attempted to make a sudden turn into the Pennsylvania State Police Gibsonia Barracks in the 2007 Toyota Yaris that he was driving.  He was traveling at a speed too fast to execute the turn when he lost control of the vehicle and struck a guardrail causing it to go airborne. The vehicle then struck a light pole and rotated clockwise and struck a parked Pa State Police Patrol Car. The car came to a rest on top of the guardrail in contact with the pole and the police cruiser. M’Mlo was not injured in the accident but he was cited for not driving a vehicle at a safe speed.
