Troopers said severe burns to truck, driver hampering identification
State police from the Avondale barracks are seeking the public’s help to identify the driver of an early 1990s Chevrolet S-10 pick-up, who died Sunday in a single-vehicle crash.
Police said the truck was traveling south on Rt. 272, north of McCoury Road, in East Nottingham Township. Police said it moved off the south side of the roadway, struck a tree and caught fire. The driver was found deceased inside the vehicle, and the damage was so severe that an ID and vehicle ownership remain undetermined, police said. Anyone with information is urged to call police at 610-268-2022.
