The crash occurred at the intersection of Slate Hill Rd and Fishing Creek Rd in Drumore Township, prompting a dispatch of multiple rescue units, including Brush 89 and a rescue squad.
According to reports shared by local incident networks, the crash involved at least one vehicle and resulted in injuries requiring EMS attention. While the number of people involved and the severity of injuries have not been officially confirmed, the “Class 1” designation typically indicates the need for a full emergency response due to the presence of injuries or potential hazards.
Crews worked to secure the scene in a rural stretch of Drumore Township, where narrow roads and limited visibility can increase crash risks. The intersection was temporarily restricted to allow responders to treat victims and clear the roadway of any debris.

Rural Road Accidents in Pennsylvania
Accidents on rural roads like Slate Hill Rd and Fishing Creek Rd are a frequent concern in Lancaster County, where winding roads, low lighting, and blind curves can significantly elevate crash risks. In these areas, emergency response can also be delayed due to geographic challenges, making rapid response and coordination critical.
Class 1 injury crashes often involve serious trauma and can require multi-agency response teams—especially when extrication or fire risk is a concern. Even single-vehicle collisions in rural settings can lead to significant consequences when vehicles leave the roadway or strike trees, ditches, or embankments.
For those involved in rural crashes, the recovery process may include extended medical treatment, vehicle loss, and uncertainty regarding legal or insurance steps. Understanding your rights and accessing the appropriate local support services is essential.
