A driver in a single vehicle accident late Saturday night was extracted from the wreck by police while the front end was on fire in the Appletree section of Levittown.
The accident which took place around 11:45 last night on Appletree Drive in the Levittown section on Bristol Township shows a vehicle wrecked on the street after it appears to have hit a tree leaving the roadway and bouncing back on to the street.
