Severe Pedestrian Collisions in Lancaster County
Crashes involving pedestrians are among the most devastating incidents responders face, particularly when the injuries are as severe as those reported Tuesday in Upper Leacock Township. With little to protect them from the force of impact, pedestrians often suffer head trauma, internal bleeding, or multiple fractures.
Rural intersections like Creek Hill and Geist Roads present added risks. Limited visibility, higher vehicle speeds, and the absence of sidewalks can all contribute to the likelihood of serious crashes. For victims, the difference between survival and tragedy often depends on how quickly emergency crews can deliver advanced care.
Authorities urge drivers to exercise heightened caution in rural and residential areas, watching for pedestrians and reducing speed at intersections.
