Dauphin County, PA (January 16, 2026) – A multi-unit emergency response was initiated Friday following an accident with injuries at the intersection of State Street and North 7th Street in Harrisburg.
The incident, which occurred around midday, involved multiple vehicles and prompted a swift response from Harrisburg Fire and Rescue.
