A Harrisburg man was riding his bicycle home from his shift at UPS early Saturday morning when he was struck by a motor vehicle and killed. The motor vehicle was being operated by a 43-year-old man who elected to continue driving after the accident.

The accident happened near the crossroads of Cameron and Allison streets. The bicyclist, a 41-year-old father of six, was completely stopped at the intersection when he was hit. He died at the scene.

The driver who caused the pedestrian accident decided to turn himself in on Monday morning, two days after the accident occurred. He faces several charges, including vehicular homicide.

Our thoughts are with the victim’s children and family members during this hard time.

The Harrisburg personal injury lawyers of Lowenthal & Abrams, P.C. have learned that a college student who also works as an executive director at a nonprofit just added another job to his busy schedule, treasurer for the city of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.

The 23-year-old, John Campbell, was elected as the treasurer for the city and began his duties on January 3, 2012. The city of 50,000 is currently saddled with $317 million in debt. Campbell was given a yearly budget of $53 million for the city and is said to have numerous plans in order for Harrisburg to slowly rise out of debt.

His efforts have already been noticed by colleagues and he hopes to make a difference in his elected position. To learn more about Campbell and his views on Harrisburg, please visit ABC News today.

The cruise ship, Costa Concordia, crashed into rocks near the coast of Giglio, Italy on Friday and numerous injuries and casualties have been reported.

The ship was carrying 4,200 passengers. Of those people, there have been six confirmed dead and 16 are missing. Reports are claiming that the captain of the ship moved the cruise liner too close to the shore and struck a large pile of rocks in the water. These rocks created a 160-foot gash in the boat, thus causing it to tip.

A worker on the ship was injured during the crash and awaited the arrival of rescue workers to bring him to safety. The injured worker is believed to have broken his leg.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the victims’ families and friends during this difficult time and our hopes are that the missing individuals are found safely.
