Driver Identified in Kipona Festival Crash Charged With DUI and Aggravated Assault

She is jailed on $350,000 bond pending a preliminary hearing on Sept. 17.

Overview

  • Police identified the driver as Elizabeth Ann Bohrer, 37, who is being held at Dauphin County Prison after her arraignment.
  • Investigators say a red minivan bypassed barricades on South Front Street and traveled roughly six blocks through the closed festival area before stopping.
  • A 6-year-old boy remains in critical condition, and two adults — a woman who uses a wheelchair and a city public-works employee — were hospitalized in stable condition.
  • Authorities report indicators of impairment and have filed DUI-related counts, with toxicology results and the question of intent still under investigation.
  • Local reporting says the child suffered multiple fractures and that a fundraiser was launched to replace the wheelchair user’s destroyed communication device.
