York County, PA (November 9, 2025) – A crash involving a car and a tractor-trailer brought down power lines and caused road closures in Dover Township on Sunday evening, according to officials from the Strinestown Community Fire Company 26.
Firefighters, who were initially en route to a separate structure fire, came across the accident around 7:36 p.m. near Copenhaffer and Susquehanna Trail. Crews immediately called for EMS and Verizon after discovering that the collision had knocked down a pole and live wires into the roadway.
Responding firefighters provided first aid to the injured, controlled fuel and fluid spills, and cleared debris from the area. Fire police temporarily shut down the roadway to allow for emergency operations and ensure public safety while utility workers repaired the downed lines.
The number and severity of injuries have not yet been confirmed, and the cause of the crash remains under investigation.
