Heidelberg Township, PA (October 14, 2024) – A serious hit-and-run accident occurred on Sunday, October 13, at 12:26 p.m., involving a motorcycle and a white Ford Explorer SUV at the intersection of York and Porters roads. According to the Northern York County Regional Police Department, the incident resulted in injuries to both the motorcycle rider and his 10-year-old daughter.

Witnesses reported that the Ford Explorer came to a stop at a stop sign before making a left turn and colliding with a 2014 Harley-Davidson motorcycle. Following the crash, the SUV fled the scene, prompting an urgent response from law enforcement and emergency services.

The riders on the motorcycle, a 53-year-old man and his daughter, were thrown from the vehicle upon impact. Fortunately, both were wearing helmets at the time of the accident, which likely mitigated the severity of their injuries. The young girl was transported to Hershey Medical Center, where she is currently being treated for two brain bleeds. Her father was taken to York Hospital for extensive injuries, but police have indicated that he is expected to recover.

Investigators collected auto parts from the scene, which suggest that the suspect’s vehicle is a Ford Explorer model from 2003 to 2005. Authorities believe that the SUV will have noticeable damage to the front driver’s side as a result of the collision.

Our thoughts are with the father and daughter as they recover from this traumatic incident.

Hit-and-Run Accidents in Pennsylvania

Hit-and-run accidents are a serious concern in Pennsylvania, often leaving victims with significant injuries and emotional trauma. According to the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, thousands of hit-and-run incidents occur each year, highlighting the need for increased awareness and safety measures on the road.

In cases involving motorcycles, the risk of severe injuries can be particularly high due to the lack of protection compared to enclosed vehicles. Riders are often vulnerable to serious injuries, including traumatic brain injuries, fractures, and other life-altering conditions.
