80-year-old woman dies in Fatal Three-Vehicle Crash

An 80-year-old woman tragically lost her life in a three-vehicle crash on U.S. 22 in Dauphin County, Pennsylvania. The incident occurred on Thursday, September 7th, during overcast and heavy rain conditions.

Pennsylvania State Police reported that the collision took place around 4:47 p.m. in East Hanover Township. Two vehicles, a 2011 Honda and a 2004 Pontiac, were positioned in the far left turn lane to merge north onto Crawford Lane. However, without proper clearance, the Honda turned north into the path of a 2021 Ford.

The impact occurred when the right passenger side of the Honda collided with the front left of the Ford. As a result of this collision, the Ford spun out and struck the front of the Pontiac involved in this unfortunate incident.

Tragically, an elderly woman who was riding as a passenger in the Honda succumbed to her injuries at the scene according to law enforcement officials. Additionally, both drivers involved and two occupants from within the Ford sustained injuries requiring medical attention; they were subsequently transported to Hershey Medical Center for treatment.

Following standard procedure for accident investigations like this one, all three vehicles were towed away from where they came to rest after being entered into evidence by authorities.

This is an ongoing investigation led by Pennsylvania State Police as they work diligently to determine all factors contributing to this tragic crash on U.S. Route 22 last week.
