Man Dies in I-81 Crash in East Pennsboro Twp.

A 19-year-old died following a deadly crash on Interstate 81 in East Pennsboro Township on December 15. According to Pennsylvania State Police, the crash resulted from two vehicles traveling at a high rate of speed on I-81 near the Marysville/Enola and Wertzville Road exits.

Troopers say one of the cars had lost control and crossed all travel lanes into the left lane where another vehicle was traveling, also at a high rate of speed. The initial vehicle struck the second, causing that car to spin and roll over multiple times. The first vehicle then spun around and continued on an uncontrolled slide before hitting a tree in the median.

The driver was ejected from the vehicle, and the car caught fire. Witnesses attempted to pull the driver away from the burning vehicle. The driver was later pronounced dead at the scene.
