CARLISLE, Pa. (AP) – State police say no charges will be filed against a firefighter who they say caused a crash that killed a central Pennsylvania woman.
Authorities say the driver will be cited for failing to drive at a safe speed, although he was not exceeding the speed limit when he crashed into the side of a sport-utility vehicle on Dec. 8.
Seventy-year-old Constance Walsh was killed in the collision in South Middleton Township, Cumberland County.
Investigators say there was no gross negligence on the part of the fire truck’s driver.
Officials say the fire truck had its lights and siren on while heading to a report of a car fire at the time of the crash.
