An 84-year-year-old Denver-area man died over the weekend in Reading Hospital of injuries suffered days earlier in a head-on crash in northern Lancaster County, state police said.<\/p>\n
Robert W. McGuire was pronounced dead by a staff doctor Saturday, troopers from the Lancaster station said.<\/p>\n
They provided this account:<\/p>\n
The accident happened July 7 shortly after 5:30 p.m. on Route 897 at Lauschtown Road, just south of the bridge carrying the road over the Pennsylvania Turnpike in Brecknock Township, Lancaster County.<\/p>\n
McGuire, who was southbound on Route 897, tried to turn left onto Lauschtown but his car entered the path of a northbound SUV driven by Jennifer Peiffer, 39, of Ephrata, and the two vehicles collided head-on.<\/p>\n
After impact, the SUV hit a motorcycle stopped at a stop sign on Lauschtown. The unidentified motorcyclist left the scene before first responders arrived.<\/p>\n
Peiffer was also taken by ambulance to Reading Hospital for treatment of suspected minor injuries. Both drivers were wearing seat belts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"An 84-year-year-old Denver-area man died over the weekend in Reading Hospital of injuries suffered days earlier in a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":242448,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[349,182,139,28,128,130,129,706],"class_list":["post-242447","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-reading","tag-berks-county","tag-local-news","tag-news","tag-pennsylvania","tag-reading-city","tag-reading-city-headlines","tag-reading-city-news","tag-top-stories-reg"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/242447","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=242447"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/242447\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/242448"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=242447"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=242447"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=242447"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
