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.

Near Lower Allen Township, two teenagers were injured when they were hit by a car during an attempt to go trick-or-treating.

The bad weather and poorly lit street added to the likelihood of the accident, which occurred after 8 p.m. on Sunday night. The two teenagers were crossing the street when the oncoming car didn’t have enough time to stop, ultimately striking them. At the scene of the accident, there was candy and strips of clothing in the street.

One of the victims was taken by a helicopter to a local hospital to be treated for severe injuries. The other left the scene in the back of an ambulance.

Different municipalities in the area decided to officially postpone Halloween activities until Monday night due to inclement weather on Sunday. Harrisburg, Pennsylvania was one of those municipalities.

Homecoming for Villanova took place this weekend. A 23-year-old alumna was in town for the festivities as well as to visit her younger sister who attended the university.

The pedestrian accident occurred Saturday night when the 23-year-old was crossing the street to catch up with some friends when she was hit by an oncoming car traveling at high speeds. Friends and family of the victim were present when the accident happened and one friend told police that it seemed to be inescapable. The 23-year-old was transported to a local hospital where she died of her injuries.

Witnesses of the accident took to social media outlets to express their condolences and sadness. A Villanova football player saw the accident unfold and was noticeably upset about the incident.

The victim was an extremely outgoing person who was liked by many. Investigation into the accident is still pending and no charges have been filed at this time.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the friends and family of the victim during this difficult time.

The Harrisburg police are currently investigating a tragic pedestrian accident that left an 8-year old boy dead.  The accident occurred last month at around 10:15 P.M. at a crosswalk near Bishop McDevitt High School.

Officers said last Friday that there may be more witnesses to the accident than they initially thought.  A press release stated that investigators from the Harrisburg Police Department are “especially interested in speaking with drivers or passengers in cars which were following the striking car.”

Police reports state that the 8-year old was struck after leaving a concert at the High School as him and his family walked across the crosswalk.  The driver was a 16-year old girl and is said to have cooperated with police officers after the accident.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the boy’s family and friends.
