A Lower Windsor Township woman was killed and her husband seriously hurt in a two-vehicle crash in Windsor Township Wednesday night.
Darlene Gable, 64, of Keller Road, was pronounced dead at the scene of the 5:19 p.m. crash at the intersection of East Prospect and Freysville roads, according to the York County Coroner's Office.
She was wearing a seat belt at the time of the crash, Chief Deputy Coroner Claude Stabley said.
An autopsy is set for 10 a.m. Thursday at Allentown's Lehigh Valley Hospital, he said.
Her husband, 72-year-old Victor Gable, suffered serious injuries and was taken to York Hospital by ambulance, according to York Area Regional Police Sgt. Jeff Dunbar.
His condition could not be obtained Thursday morning.
Second truck: The Gables' 2011 Toyota Tacoma pickup truck was eastbound on East Prospect Road when it collided with a pickup truck driven by David Overly, 28, of Conowingo, Md., about 5:20 p.m., Dunbar said.
Overly had three passengers in his 2012 Chevrolet 2500 pickup, which was northbound on Freysville Road. Overly was treated at the scene for minor injuries, according to Dunbar.
His Amish passengers - David Beilar, 35, Amos Stolfuss, 22, and Jacob Stolfuss, 19, all of Lancaster County - escaped injury, the sergeant said.
Overly's Chevrolet crashed into the passenger side of the Gables' truck in the middle of the intersection.
The force of the impact pushed and spun the Toyota onto the side of the road near a field. The Chevrolet spun and stopped nearby.
Stop signs are posted on Freysville Road in both directions at that intersection, Dunbar said; there are no stop signs on East Prospect Road at that intersection.
Nothing new: Crashes at the intersection are nothing new, said Paul Buser, a deacon at nearby Grace Baptist Church.
Grace Baptist was to hold a gathering at the church Wednesday night, but because the crash caused roads in the area to be closed, the it was cancelled, Buser said.
The road reopened a little before 10 p.m. after crews cleared the scene.
"It's terrible," Buser said of the fatal crash. "Someone's family is really hurting tonight."
Dunbar said he's patrolled the area for 25 years and the crash was the first fatal one at the intersection in a number of years.
But Buser said he hopes the tragic crash can bring some safety changes to the intersection.
"Perhaps they'll put a traffic light up," he said.
Anyone with information about the crash is asked to call Sgt. Tim Damon at (717) 741-1259.
