Adams County, PA (December 23, 2023) – Part of Adams County’s Route 15 was closed Friday night due to a fatal accident, according to local deputies and authorities who responded to the scene.
At 4:15 p.m., officials reported that a northbound collision had closed the section of road between State Route 94 to York Springs and Latimore Valley Road/Mountain Road.
There were few details available about the collision, though authorities confirmed that two vehicles—a tractor-trailer and another—were involved. A 35-year-old woman was also declared deceased at the scene, per the Adams County Coroner’s Office. In the meantime, officers are still trying to piece together what happened, and they’ve issued a call to action to anybody who may have witnessed the collision.
Our deepest condolences go out to the deceased woman’s family. The injured victims and their loved ones are in our thoughts, and we hope for their full recovery.
Fatal Car Accidents in Pennsylvania
According to statistics provided by traffic specialists, more than a thousand people were killed or badly injured as a result of traffic accidents in Pennsylvania in a single year. Although many people were harmed across the state of Pennsylvania, these figures highlight how Philadelphia and other big cities in the state distort the data on accident injuries.
The roads and highways of the United States are not immune to tragic incidents. Like the rest of the country, distracted driving, speeding, and drunk driving are serious issues in the Keystone State.
