2 injured in Route 272 collision between 2 pickup trucks (2025)

TO MAKE PEOPLE FEEL SAFER. GOOD MORNING EVERYONE. 4.30 RIGHT NOW. BUT MAYBE YOU ARE UP. MAYBE YOUR ALARM CLOCK ISN’T GOING TO GET YOU UP THIS MORNING, BECAUSE THAT LIGHTNING AND THUNDER MAY BE ALREADY DEAD ON. MATT BARCARO I’M KATELYN SMITH JOINED BY CHIEF METEOROLOGIST CHRISTINE FERREIRA. WE SAID YESTERDAY THAT THE STORM WOULD ROLL IN OVERNIGHT AND BOY DID IT. IT WOKE A LOT OF PEOPLE UP. I HAD SOME FRIENDS ON FACEBOOK THIS MORNING TALKING ABOUT THE STORMS WITH ME. SO YEAH, THE STORMS ARE NOT SEVERE, BUT THEY CERTAINLY WILL IMPACT YOU THIS MORNING, ESPECIALLY IF YOU’RE HEADED OUT THE DOOR RIGHT NOW. I WANT TO SHOW YOU OUR STORM TEAM LIVE RADAR NETWORK SO WE CAN TRACK THE ACTION. RIGHT NOW YOU CAN SEE THE HEAVIEST RAIN IN THE YELLOWS, ORANGES AND REDS MOVING VERY QUICKLY FROM WEST TO EAST. TONS OF LIGHTNING. THUNDER ACCOMPANYING THESE STORMS, AND THERE MAY EVEN BE A FEW EMBEDDED WIND GUSTS UP TO 50MPH. BUT LET’S TRACK THE HEAVIEST NOW. MOVING INTO CHESTER COUNTY. WE ALSO HAVE A HEAVY CELL RIGHT OVER MOUNT JOY, STRETCHING BACK TOWARD COLUMBIA, LANCASTER CITY ALSO PICKING UP SOME HEAVY RAIN. SHREWSBURY WINTERSTOWN JUST POURING FOR YOU WITH FREQUENT RAIN AND LIGHTNING, FREQUENT LIGHTNING AND THUNDER, I SHOULD SAY. AND IN SOUTHERN FRANKLIN COUNTY, AROUND GREENCASTLE, WAYNESBORO THE WORST IS SOUTH TOWARD HAGERSTOWN. BUT YOU’RE PROBABLY SEEING QUITE A LIGHT SHOW THERE AS WELL. HERE’S OUR CURRENT IT’S MILD OUTSIDE. FEELS LIKE A SUMMER MORNING. PLENTY OF 60S ON THE TEMPERATURE MAP. TEMPERATURES WILL DIP INTO THE 50S HERE OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS, AND THEN BOUNCE BACK TO THE 60S THIS AFTERNOON. SO WE SHOULD SEE THE RAIN REALLY WINDING DOWN. I HAVE IMPACTS FOR YOU UNTIL 8 A.M. AFTER THAT, WE SHOULD JUST SEE MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES FOR THE REST OF THE DAY, AND A STRAY LEFTOVER SHOWER. BUT OVERALL THOUGH, THE WORST OF THE WEATHER IS GOING TO BE RIGHT NOW AS IT’S HAPPENING. BACK TO YOU GUYS. OKAY, THANKS, CHRISTINE, FOR THAT. WE CONTINUE TO FOLLOW THE IMPACT OF THE SWEEPING TARIFFS ANNOUNCED BY PRESIDENT TRUMP THIS WEEK. BREWERIES IN PENNSYLVANIA ARE BRACING FOR IMPACT. NEWS EIGHT SPOKE WITH A REPRESENTATIVE AT CARTEL BREWING AND BLENDING IN LANCASTER, AND HE TELLS US THE PRODUCTS HE EXPECTS TO HAVE. PRICE HIKES ARE ALUMINUM AND A KEY INGREDIENT IN MAKING BEER MALT. THE BREWERY SAYS THEY’RE EXPECTING A 10% INCREASE IN THE PRICE OF ALUMINUM FOR THEIR CANS, OF COURSE, BUT, SAY MALT BEING MORE EXPENSIVE WOULD ACTUALLY IMPACT THEM MORE. THAT’S THE MORE IMPACTFUL THING TO US, AS ABOUT 80% OF OUR MALT THAT WE USE HERE COMES FROM EUROPE, SPECIFICALLY GERMANY AND THE UNITED KINGDOM. THE BREWERY SAYS AT THIS POINT THEY DON’T EXPECT TO RAISE PRICES ON THEIR BEER, BUT THAT MEANS THAT THEY WILL TAKE A SMALLER PROFIT MARGIN. FARMERS AND RANCHERS ARE ALSO WAITING TO SEE HOW THE NEW TARIFFS MAY IMPACT THEM. U.S. SECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE BROOKE ROLLINS SAYS AMERICA’S FARMERS HAVE BEEN TREATED UNFAIRLY WHEN IT COMES TO TRADE. THE AMERICAN FARM BUREAU FEDERATION, THOUGH, SAYS FARMERS RELY ON FOREIGN IMPORTS FOR KEY SUPPLIES LIKE FERTILIZER AND MORE THAN 20% OF FARM REVENUES DO COME FROM EXPORTS TO OTHER COUNTRIES. AMERICAN FARMERS HAVE ALREADY BEEN A MAJOR TARGET OF THOSE RETALIATORY TARIFFS DURING PRESIDENT TRUMP’S FIRST TERM. THE ADMINISTRATION STARTED A RELIEF PROGRAM TO TRY TO OFFSET THOSE LOSSES FROM THE TARIFFS. THEN SECRETARY ROLLINS WAS ASKED IF A SIMILAR PROGRAM WOULD BE OFFERED AGAIN. WE WON’T EVEN REALLY KNOW IF RELIEF IS NECESSARY FOR AT LEAST SEVERAL MONTHS. SO THIS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT WE’LL FIGURE OUT TOMORROW. OUR CORN, SOYBEAN, SORGHUM, WHEAT THEY ARE LIKELY THE ONES WHO COULD BE HARDEST HIT. WELL, THEY’RE JUST PLANTING RIGHT NOW SO THEY WON’T EVEN KNOW UNTIL LATER THIS SUMMER OR THIS FALL. SHE SAYS SHE DOES WANT FARMERS TO KNOW THAT THEY ARE MONITORING POTENTIAL IMPACTS, AND THEY’VE STARTED PREPARING FOR THAT RELIEF PROGRAM. SHE SAID THOUGH, AS YOU HEARD THERE, TOO SOON TO SHARE SPECIFICS ABOUT ELIGIBILITY AND HOW MUCH HELP WOULD BE AVAILABLE. IT WAS A DEVASTATING DAY ON WALL STREET AS A RESULT OF THESE TARIFFS, WITH THE DOW DOWN 4%, THE NASDAQ DOWN 6%. AND RIGHT NOW, IT LOOKS LIKE THE STOCK MARKET WILL OPEN AGAIN IN THE RED WITH THE IMPLIED OPEN DOWN MORE THAN 400 POINTS RIGHT NOW FOR THE DOW. THE NASDAQ DOWN RIGHT NOW NEARLY 100 POINTS. WE’LL SEE WHEN THE STOCK MARKET OPENS THIS MORNING AT 930. AND AFTER SEEING THOSE NUMBERS, MANY ARE THINKING ABOUT YOUR 401 K. EIGHT ON YOUR SIDE. CONSUMER INVESTIGATOR BRIAN ROCHE HAS SOME ADVICE. YOU KNOW, PANICKING ABOUT YOUR RETIREMENT ACCOUNT TODAY. QUITE UNDERSTANDABLE. BUT BEFORE YOU DO THAT, DO YOU ACTUALLY KNOW WHAT THE INVESTMENTS ARE IN YOUR 401 K? THE MORE YOU HAVE INVESTED IN STOCKS, OF COURSE, THE HARDER THE HIT YOU’LL TAKE. BUT A GOOD MONEY MANAGER WILL HAVE DIVERSIFIED THAT FUND IN BONDS AND OTHER INVESTMENT VEHICLES. SO FIND OUT WHAT YOUR REAL FINANCIAL EXPOSURE IS HERE. IT MAY NOT BE AS BAD AS YOU THINK. NEXT, KEEP IN MIND THAT MARKET CORRECTIONS ARE NORMAL. THEY HAPPEN EVERY FEW YEARS WHEN STOCKS CAN DECLINE BY UP TO 10%. BUT THE BIG QUESTION IS WHAT WE’RE SEEING NOW TO BE CONSIDERED NORMAL. EXPERTS ARE TALKING ABOUT A POSSIBLE RECESSION BECAUSE OF THESE TARIFFS. SO THAT MAKES THIS A PERFECT TIME TO REASSESS YOUR OVERALL FINANCIAL PLAN. AND ONE THING YOU DO NOT WANT TO DO RIGHT NOW IS LIQUIDATE YOUR 401 K, TAKE ALL THE MONEY, BECAUSE DOING THAT GUARANTEES YOU WILL LOSE MONEY BECAUSE OF THE MARKET DROP, AND YOU WILL HAVE TO PAY TAXES ON IT. AND THAT MEANS YOU MAY MISS OUT ON ANY POTENTIAL MARKET REBOUNDS. THE MARKETS DO HISTORICALLY BOUNCE BACK FROM HITS LIKE THIS. FROM WHAT WE’RE SEEING RIGHT NOW. BUT WILL HISTORY REPEAT ITSELF? THAT REMAINS TO BE SEEN. I’M BRIAN ROCHE ON YOUR SIDE. WGAL NEWS EIGHT. IT’S 435 NOW, AND HARRISBURG POLICE ARRESTED A MAN THEY SAY SHOT ANOTHER MAN LAST MONTH, 19 YEAR OLD CARLOS GARCIA IS CHARGED WITH AGGRAVATED ASSAULT AND ROBBERY. POLICE SAY GARCIA SHOT THE MAN MARCH 21ST IN THE AREA OF NORTH FOURTH AND WOODBINE STREETS. A LANCASTER MAN WILL SPEND THE NEXT 15 TO 20 YEARS BEHIND BARS FOR THREATENING A NEIGHBOR WITH MULTIPLE WEAPONS. THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY SAYS RAYMOND SCHADE WENT INTO A HOME IN EAST HEMPFIELD TOWNSHIP IN OCTOBER OF 2022 AND POINTED A SAWED OFF SHOTGUN WITH A KNIFE ATTACHED TO THE BARREL AT THE VICTIM. INVESTIGATORS SAY THE VICTIM DISTRACTED SCHADE LONG ENOUGH FOR POLICE TO GET THERE AND ARREST HIM WHEN HE WAS TAKEN INTO CUSTODY. POLICE ALSO SAY THEY FOUND A KITCHEN KNIFE STRAPPED TO HIS LEG AND A SHEATH CONTAINING A SWORD AND NUNCHUCKS ON THE MOTORCYCLE THAT HE RODE TO THAT HOUSE IN YORK. THERE’S STILL NO ARRESTS AFTER A SHOOTING THAT KILLED ONE MAN AND SERIOUSLY HURT A TEENAGER. THIS HAPPENED NEXT TO A PLAYGROUND IN THE CITY’S PARKWAY DEVELOPMENT. NOW, TO HELP PEOPLE FEEL MORE SAFE IN THAT AREA, THE YORK CITY POLICE DEPARTMENT NOW PUTTING UP AN EXTRA NIGHT WATCH CAMERA, WHICH YOU SEE THERE. THAT’S A MOBILE SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM THAT GIVES INVESTIGATORS A 360 VIEW OF THE AREA. AND POLICE TELL NEWS EIGHT IT HAS MADE A BIG DIFFERENCE IN REDUCING CRIME WHEREVER IT’S PUT UP. AROUND 830 ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT, OFFICERS WERE CALLED TO THE AREA OF FRONT STREET AND PARKWAY BOULEVARD. THAT’S WHERE THEY FOUND A 17 YEAR OLD BOY AND A 24 YEAR OLD MAN SHOT. THE MAN WAS TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL WHERE HE LATER DIED. POLICE BELIEVE A THIRD PERSON IS THE SHOOTER. IN DAUPHIN COUNTY, A COMMISSIONER WILL NO LONGER HAVE OVERSIGHT OF COUNTY DEPARTMENTS AFTER HE WAS INVOLVED IN A CRASH IN A GOVERNMENT VEHICLE. DURING WEDNESDAY’S COMMISSIONERS MEETING, GEORGE HARTWICK SHOWED UP LATE AND APPEARED TO BE HAVING TROUBLE SPEAKING. WHEN ASKED TO COMMENT ON A PUBLIC APPEARANCE THAT ORGANIZERS TOLD US HE ACTUALLY MISSED. TOM CONNOLLY, A SWATARA TOWNSHIP COMMISSIONER, WAS AT THE MEETING FOR AN EVENT AFTERWARDS AND SAYS HE SAW HARTWICK WHILE HEADING INTO THE COMMISSIONERS CHAMBER. HE SAID HARTWICK WAS HAVING TROUBLE PUTTING ON A BELT AND SEEMED VERY OFF. IT LOOKED LIKE HE WAS GETTING DRESSED, WHICH INITIALLY COULD HAVE BEEN, YOU KNOW, HE WAS RUNNING LATE FOR A MEETING. BUT THEN AS OTHER PEOPLE GOT ON THE ELEVATOR, IT BECAME APPARENT THAT THAT HE WAS IMPAIRED. YOU KNOW, HE WAS WAS STRUGGLING WITH WITH MINIMAL CONVERSATION AND JUST HIS ACTIONS AND HIS MOVEMENTS. COUNTY OFFICIALS SAID DRUG AND ALCOHOL TESTING WOULD BE STANDARD POLICY AFTER A CRASH INVOLVING A COUNTY OWNED VEHICLE, BUT IT’S UNCLEAR WHETHER THOSE TESTS WERE DONE IN THIS CASE. A BIG HOUSE FIRE IN LANCASTER COUNTY HAPPENING YESTERDAY AFTERNOON ON QUAKER CHURCH ROAD IN SADSBURY TOWNSHIP. BY THE TIME CREWS GOT THERE, THAT HOUSE WAS ALREADY COVERED IN FLAMES. NO ONE WAS HURT. THE HOUSE WAS UNDER CONSTRUCTION YESTERDAY. THE HOMEOWNER WAS BURNING SCRAPS OUTSIDE. THAT’S WHEN THE FLAMES SPREAD TO THE HOUSE. FI
