Vehicle into river: More information

This photo was circulated on social media. Photographer unknown. 

Manor Township emergency personnel and others received a call at 8:22 p.m. regarding a vehicle in the river in Windsor Township. Officers discovered a 2021 BMW X5 submerged in the water. The driver had driven down a public ramp near Lock 2 and ended up in the river on the York County side. 

The vehicle was towed from the river. Police believe alcohol might have been a factor. No injuries were reported.

Manor Township extends all the way across the river to the shoreline, so crews from there - and York County - responded. (All municipalities in Lancaster County go all the way to the shoreline of York County.)

Columbia woman speaks at Trump rally

Tiffany Hall, a self-described single mother of four young kids, blasted the Biden administration’s “disastrous liberal policies” for leaving the working class behind.

Hall, a school paraprofessional from Columbia, attacked Democrats’ education policies. “Biden and Kamala Harris feel the government knows better than parents. Being an educator and a parent, I strongly disagree,” she said.

Last year, Hall ran unsuccessfully for a seat on the board of the Columbia Borough School District.
