Hit-and-Run Collisions in Lancaster Neighborhoods
Hit-and-run crashes remain a serious public safety concern across Lancaster County, particularly in city zones like Manor Street where narrow lanes, pedestrian crossings, and moderate-speed limits converge. When a driver leaves the scene after a collision, victims may face not only physical injuries but the added stress of navigating insurance and legal recovery without clear accountability.
Under Pennsylvania law, all drivers involved in a crash are legally required to stop, exchange information, and assist injured parties if possible. Fleeing the scene may result in felony charges—especially when bodily injury is involved.
Residents and community leaders in Lancaster have continued to push for better traffic enforcement in neighborhoods with high rates of pedestrian activity and vehicle congestion. Traffic-calming measures and public education campaigns aim to reduce these types of incidents, but driver responsibility remains the most crucial factor.
