- Pennsylvania State Police crash‑reconstruction teams documented the Route 283 scene for several hours as firefighters performed extensive extrication work.
- Just after 6:30 p.m., a northbound I‑83 pileup near Exit 39 in Fairview Township involved 12 vehicles, including two tractor‑trailers, based on local fire department reports.
