• Lancaster County, Pa. crash leaves 20-year-old man dead, coroner says (wgal.com) — A serious two-vehicle crash at Old Philadelphia Pike and Mill Creek Road in East Lampeter Township left a 20-year-old man dead Thursday morning and shut down Route 340 between Lynwood and Eastbrook roads. Emergency crews reported entrapment, both vehicles were heavily damaged, and police are still investigating, so drivers in the Lampeter area should expect closures and delays while the scene is processed.
