Man dies after motorcycle collides with van (2024)

BASEBALL TEAM NEEDS TO DO TONIGHT TO BECOME STATE CHAMPIONS. THIS IS COVERAGE YOU CAN COUNT ON. WGAL NEWS EIGHT AT FIVE STARTS NOW. A YORK COUNTY WINERY IS FIGHTING FOR ITS SURVIVAL AFTER A JUDGE ORDERED IT TO CLOSE. WELCOME TO NEWS EIGHT AT FIVE. I’M BRIAN RICH AND I’M SUSAN SHAPIRO LAWYERS FOR THE MOON DANCER VINEYARDS AND WINERY WERE IN COURT THIS MORNING HOPING THE WINERY WOULD BE ALLOWED TO REOPEN. WGAL NEWS EIGHT’S ED WEINSTOCK IS LIVE OUTSIDE THE YORK COUNTY JUDICIAL CENTER, WHERE THAT HEARING WAS HELD. AND ED, IT LOOKS LIKE IT WAS NO DICE FOR THE WINERY. HUH? WELL THAT’S ME. THAT’S PRETTY SIMPLE. NO DECISION CAME FROM A JUDGE HERE THIS MORNING. THE WINERY IN LOWER WINDSOR TOWNSHIP REMAINS CLOSED AS THIS MATTER CONTINUES TO WORK ITS WAY THROUGH THE COURTS. MOON DANCER WINERY OWNER JIM MILLER CAN ONLY WAIT FOR A RULING FROM THE COURT RIGHT NOW. THERE’S NO INDICATION WHEN THAT WILL HAPPEN OR WHEN THE WINERY MIGHT REOPEN. EMPTY PLACE HERE. EMPTY PLACE IN MY HEART. AND ALL OF OUR, YOU KNOW, GOOD, LOYAL CUSTOMERS AS WELL. THE WINERY CLOSED SUNDAY AFTER A JUDGE ISSUED A SHUTDOWN ORDER IN RESPONSE TO A LAWSUIT FILED BY SOME OF MILLER’S NEIGHBORS. THE LAWSUIT CLAIMS THE AGRICULTURAL BASED BUSINESS IS NOT ALLOWED TO OPERATE ON THE PROPERTY. THE NUTS AND BOLTS OF IT ARE THAT THEY THEY’RE ALLEGING THAT THIS SHOULD BE RESIDENTIAL USE ONLY AND NOT A BUSINESS AND NOT A NOT AN AGRICULTURAL BUSINESS. THE WINERY HAS BEEN OPERATING SINCE 2004. AN ONLINE PETITION IN SUPPORT OF THE WINERY HAS 5000 SIGNATURES. MILLER SAYS THE CLOSURE IS A HUGE FINANCIAL LOSS. WE’RE AT A COMPLETE STANDSTILL, ALL, UM, FOR OUR CURRENTLY BOOKED EVENTS AS WELL AS ANY EVENTS IN THE FUTURE. NOW WE JUST REACHED OUT TO THE LAWYERS REPRESENTING THE PEOPLE WHO FILED THE LAWSUIT, AND ONE OF THE LAWYERS SAYS THIS BOILS DOWN TO CONCERNS OVER PARKING AND TRAFFIC. WHILE THIS IS ALL GOING ON, THE EMPLOYEES ARE ABOUT A DOZEN OF THEM AT THE WINERY. REMAIN OUT OF WORK IN YORK COUNTY. ED WEINSTOCK WGAL NEWS EIGHT. A MARYLAND MAN WAS THE VICTIM OF A FATAL MOTORCYCLE CRASH IN ADAMS COUNTY. THE SINGLE VEHICLE CRASH HAPPENED AROUND 630 LAST NIGHT ON FAIRFIELD ROAD NEAR VALLEY VIEW TRAIL IN CARROLL VALLEY BOROUGH. THE ADAMS COUNTY CORONER SAYS 48 YEAR OLD ANDREW ADELSBERG DIED AT THE SCENE FROM MULTIPLE BLUNT FORCE INJURIES. THE CRASH HAS BEEN RULED ACCIDENTAL. A CRASH IN FRANKLIN COUNTY INVOLVING A CAR AND A DUMP TRUCK INJURED ONE PERSON EMERGENCY DISPATCHER SAY CREWS RESPONDED TO THE CRASH JUST BEFORE SIX THIS MORNING ON MAIN STREET, SCOTLAND, NEAR ROUTE 997, IN GREEN TOWNSHIP. THEY SAY CREWS RESCUED THE INJURED PERSON FROM THE BURNING CAR BEFORE THAT PERSON WAS BURNED. HARRISBURG POLICE ARE SEARCHING FOR A MAN WANTED IN CONNECTION TO LAST MONTH’S MASS SHOOTING THAT KILLED TWO PEOPLE, INJURED THREE OTHERS. 21 YEAR OLD BRADLEY LEBRUN IS WANTED FOR A FELONY FIREARMS OFFENSE AND SIMPLE ASSAULT. THE SHOOTING BACK ON MAY 21ST ON SOUTH 15TH STREET, CLAIMED THE LIVES OF 27 YEAR OLD DOMINIC JACKSON AND 21 YEAR OLD ZONTINI JACKSON AT THE TIME OF THE SHOOTING, POLICE SAID THEY BELIEVED MULTIPLE PEOPLE WERE INVOLVED. A 27 YEAR OLD HAS ALREADY BEEN ARRESTED FOR THE INCIDENT AND THIS CASE IS STILL UNDER INVESTIGATION. THAT INCIDENT AND A AND OTHER RECENT SHOOTINGS IN DOWNTOWN HARRISBURG, PROMPTING A STEPPED UP POLICE PRESENCE ON THE WEEKEND. NEWS EIGHT’S TOM LEHMAN JOINS US LIVE FROM SECOND STREET WITH MORE ON WHAT POLICE ARE DOING NOW. YEAH, YOU KNOW, WE’VE HAD TWO SHOOTINGS OVER THE PAST TWO WEEKENDS IN DOWNTOWN HARRISBURG. IT’S PROMPTED SOME CHANGES IN HOW POLICE WILL BE SECURING THE AREA DOWN HERE. I SPOKE TO ONE VICTIM IN A RECENT SHOOTING ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED AND WHAT HE SAYS IS THE REASON HE IS LUCKY TO BE ALIVE TODAY. JUST TO REVISIT COMING DOWN HERE, MAN, AND REVISIT SOME OF THE SCENES I WALKED PAST ME. I WAS JUST EXTREMELY BLESSED, MAN SHAWN BEECHER SAYS HE WAS OUT CELEBRATING A FRIEND’S BIRTHDAY WHEN HE WAS SHOT. AFTER THE BARS CLOSED IN THE EARLY HOURS OF JUNE 2ND. MAN, IT WAS A MILLION THOUGHTS. MAN, AM I GOING TO DIE HERE. MAN. I’M JUST GOING TO BE MY LAST BREATH. BEECHER SAYS HE’S LUCKY TO BE ALIVE AFTER BEING HELPED BY THE QUICK ACTIONS OF AN OFFICER WHO BROUGHT HIM TO THE HOSPITAL, POLICE SAY BEECHER WAS NOT THE INTENDED TARGET OF A PERSON SEEN IN THIS VIDEO, WHO REMAINS AT LARGE. THE FOLLOWING WEEKEND, POLICE FATALLY SHOT A MAN NEAR SECOND AND SOUTH STREETS AFTER THE DA SAYS HE OPENED FIRE ON THE OFFICERS WHO WERE CHASING HIM AS THE SUSPECT BEHIND GUNFIRE DOWNTOWN. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. HARRISBURG POLICE COMMISSIONER TOM CARTER SAYS THERE WILL BE AN INCREASED POLICE PRESENCE DOWNTOWN TO HELP DEAL WITH LATE NIGHT CROWDS OUTSIDE BARS AND RESTAURANTS. THIS WEEKEND, THE STATE POLICE MOUNTED UNIT WILL ALSO BE JOINING THAT DETAIL. ALL PART OF SECOND STREET WILL BE CLOSED OFF AROUND THE TIME WHEN BARS WRAP UP THEIR BUSINESS FOR THE EVENING, CARTER SAYS POLICE WILL HAVE ZERO TOLERANCE FOR CRIMINAL BEHAVIOR. EVERYBODY DESERVES THE SAME LEVEL OF HELP AND PROTECTION IN THE SAME LEVEL OF SAFETY, SO THEREFORE WE’RE GOING TO MAKE HARRISBURG SAFE FOR EVERYONE. HARRISBURG POLICE ALSO ANNOUNCED THAT THEY WILL BE HOSTING A GUN BUYBACK ON JUNE 22ND IN HARRISBURG, TOM LEHMAN. WGAL NEWS EIGHT. MORE HEAT, MORE HUMIDITY. AND YOU KNOW WHAT? YOU GET. YOU GET THOSE STORMS ACROSS THE SUSQUEHANNA VALLEY. ETHAN, I LIKE TO SAY GET READY TO GET SWEATY. THAT’S RIGHT. THAT IS A GOOD CALL FOR ESPECIALLY TODAY. TEMPERATURES UP NEAR 90 DEGREES. AND THAT SEASONABLE STICKINESS IS BACK. MOST OF THE VALLEY WILL CONTINUE TO STAY DRY THIS EVENING, BUT A SPOTTY SHOWER WILL BE POSSIBLE. IT’S TOMORROW. SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORM WILL LIKELY BE CROSSING THE VALLEY, AND SOME OF THOSE COULD BE STRONG. SEVERE. THAT’S WHY TOMORROW IS AN IMPACT DAY. BUT THE CLOUDS ARE BUILDING RIGHT NOW ON OUR YORK SKYCAM. MOST OF THE VALLEY IS DRY. WE WERE TRACKING A LITTLE SHOWER THAT MAY HAVE DISSIPATED NEAR MANHEIM BOROUGH IN LANCASTER COUNTY ON LIVE LOCAL 883 RIGHT NOW IN LANCASTER, BUT 90 DEGREES IN CARLISLE AND 88 IN HARRISBURG. THIS IS WHAT WE’RE WATCHING FOR TOMORROW. AND THIS LINE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. YOU CAN SEE, SEE, WE HAVE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCHES AND WARNINGS ASSOCIATED WITH THAT LINE. THAT LINE WILL GET HERE BY ABOUT THIS TIME TOMORROW AND PUSH ACROSS THE VALLEY. SO FOR THE REST OF OUR THURSDAY EVENING, BE PREPARED TO SWEAT OUT THERE AS TEMPERATURES WILL BE SLOW TO COOL OFF, ONLY DOWN INTO THE UPPER 60S FOR OUR LOWS TONIGHT. BUT HERE’S WHAT TO EXPECT FOR TOMORROW A BROKEN LINE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE CROSSING THE VALLEY ROUGHLY BETWEEN 3:00 AND 10:00. WITHIN THIS LINE, WE COULD SEE SOME STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS PRODUCING SOME DAMAGING WIND GUSTS. HAIL, AND SOME HEAVY RAINFALL THAT COULD BRING DOWN SOME TREES AND ALSO CAUSE SOME POWER OUTAGES. ONCE ALL OF THIS ACTIVITY EXITS THE VALLEY, OUR WEATHER WILL IMPROVE JUST IN TIME FOR FATHER’S DAY WEEKEND. I’LL TALK ABOUT THAT MORE COMING UP IN THE TEN DAY FORECAST. THE SUPREME COURT IS PRESERVING ACCESS TO THE COMMONLY USED ABORTION MEDICATION MIFEPRISTONE. IT’S THE FIRST TIME THE CONSERVATIVE LEANING BENCH RULED ON THE ABORTION ISSUE SINCE OVERTURNING ROE V WADE TWO YEARS AGO, WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENT JACKIE DEFUSCO JOINS US LIVE FROM THE HIGH COURT WITH THE IMPACT ON TODAY’S RULING. JACKIE. YEAH, BRIAN. SUSAN, A LOT WAS AT STAKE HERE TODAY. THIS CASE COULD HAVE LIMITED ACCESS TO MIFEPRISTONE, EVEN IN STATES WHERE ABORTION IS STILL LEGAL AND IT EVEN COULD HAVE IMPACTED THE FEDERAL DRUG APPROVAL PROCESS. BUT INSTEAD, THE SUPREME COURT’S DECISION TODAY DOES MEAN THAT THIS MEDICATION REMAINS AVAILABLE, AT LEAST FOR NOW. THE SUPREME COURT IS PRESERVING ACCESS TO MIFEPRISTONE, A MEDICATION USED IN NEARLY TWO THIRDS OF U.S. ABORTIONS LAST YEAR. IN A UNANIMOUS DECISION ON THURSDAY, THE COURT SAID ANTIABORTION DOCTORS WHO BROUGHT THE CASE DID NOT HAVE A LEGAL RIGHT TO SUE BECAUSE THEY DON’T PRESCRIBE OR USE THE DRUG JUSTICE BRETT KAVANAUGH, WRITING IN THE OPINION OF THE COURT, SAID, QUOTE, A PLAINTIFF’S DESIRE TO MAKE A DRUG LESS AVAILABLE FOR OTHERS DOES NOT ESTABLISH STANDING. ABORTION RIGHTS SUPPORTERS SAY THEY’RE RELIEVED, BUT THE FIGHT IS NOT OVER. WE MUST REMAIN CLEAR EYED ABOUT THE THREATS TO REPRODUCTIVE FREEDOM IN AMERICA, AND WE MUST REMAIN VIGILANT. THE CASE CENTERED ON THE FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION’S RULES FOR PRESCRIBING AND DISTRIBUTING MIFEPREX, INCLUDING STEPS TO EXPAND ACCESS LIKE MAKING THE MEDICATION AVAILABLE ALL BY MAIL. THE FDA SAYS THE MEDICATION IS SAFE IN MAJOR COMPLICATIONS ARE RARE, BUT THE ABORTION OPPONENTS ARGUE CURRENT REGULATIONS JEOPARDIZE WOMEN’S HEALTH. WE’RE HOPEFUL THAT THE FDA WILL BE HELD TO ACCOUNT FOR PUTTING POLITICS ABOVE WOMEN’S HEALTH. NOW, NOTABLY, THE JUSTICES DIDN’T RULE ON THE MERITS OF THIS CASE. ONLY THE ISSUE OF STANDING. AND SO ANTI-ABORTION ADVOCATES SAY THEY STILL SEE A PATH FORWARD HERE TO TRY TO REINSTATE RESTRICTIONS ON MIFEPRISTONE, INCLUDING THROUGH ANOTHER LEGAL CHALLENGE FROM THREE STATES LIVE AT THE SUPREME COURT. I’M JACKIE DEFUSCO, WGAL NEWS EIGHT. A NEW INTERACTIVE ART INSTALLATION IS BEING PUT UP IN DOWNTOWN LANCASTER THAT WILL BE AROUND FOR RESIDENTS TO ENJOY THROUGH THE SUMMER. THE ENTERTAINMENT AND EVENT COMPANY ATOMIC, WHICH IS PART OF ROCK LITITZ, IS INSTALLING AN INTERACTIVE PERGOLA AS YULE PLAZA ON NORTH QUEEN STREET. THE MOTIVE IS INSPIRED BY A RIBBON. THE YULE PLAZA IS VERY OPEN. IT’S VERY UNSHADED AND SO IT WOULD BE NICE TO KIND OF LOOK AT SOMETHING THAT COULD HELP TO BRING SHADE AND KIND OF HELP PEOPLE IN THE SUMMER MONTHS TO STAY AROUND AND ACTUALLY ENGAGE IN THE SPACE. THE PERGOLA IS PART OF THE CITY’S SUMMER FOR LANCASTER CAMPAIGN TO GET MORE PEOPLE INTO DOWNTOWN DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS. YORK POLICE HAVE A NEW POLICE CAR IN THEIR FLEET AND IT’S GETTING A LOT OF LOOKS FROM PEOPLE ON THE STREET WONDERING WHY IT LOOKS SO BRITISH. TAKE A LOOK FOR YOURSELF HERE. POLICE COMMISSIONER MICHAEL MULDROW SAYS THE CAR IS MODELED AFTER A DESIGN USED BY POLICE IN YORK, ENGLAND. IT DOESN’T HAVE HAVE THE STEERING WHEEL ON THE RIGHT SIDE AND IT USES A TRADITIONAL SOUNDING SIREN. THE COMMISSIONER GOT THE CAR AS A NEW WAY TO TRY TO ENGAGE WITH THE COMMUNITY. WE’VE BEEN ABLE TO DO SO MANY THINGS THAT RATHER THAN SEPARATING US AND ACTUALLY BRING US TOGETHER AND, UH, I THINK PEOPLE SEE THAT. I THINK PEOPLE KNOW IT COMES FROM A PURE PLACE. AND I LOVE THE RESULTS THAT WE’RE HAVING BECAUSE OF IT. NOT ONLY IS IT POPULAR ON THE STREETS, THE COMMISSIONER TELLS US THAT OFFICERS APPARENTLY LOVE DRIVING IT. THE DEPARTMENT IS ACTUALLY PLANNING ON GETTING IN TOUCH WITH POLICE OVER IN THE UK’S YORK. TO SEE IF THEY’RE INTERESTED IN DOING SOMETHING SIMILAR, BUT WITH AN AMERICAN STYLE POLICE CAR COMING UP ON NEWS EIGHT AT FIVE. A PENNSYLVANIA STUDENT WITH AUTISM ATTACKED ON A SCHOOL VAN BY HER MOTHER, IS WORRIED SHE MAY NEVER GET ANSWERS ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED. REPORTER THIS IS AN OUTSTANDING GROUP OF PEOPLE I’M WITH. WITH THEM 1,000%. THEY’RE WITH. ME 1,000%. DONALD TRUMP RETURNS TO THE CAPITOL HILL FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE HIS CRIMINAL CONVICTION. WHY? HE SAYS THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IS STRONGER WITH HIM AT THE HELM. THE QUEST FOR A TITLE ENDS TONIGHT FOR HEMPFIELD HIGH SCHOOL’S BASEBALL TEAM. SPORTS DIRECTOR BETHANY MILLER CHECKS IN ON WHERE THEY STAND RIGHT NOW, AND THE EIGHT ON YOUR SIDE TEAM IS FOLLOWING UP ON A STORY THAT WE FIRST BROUGHT YOU HERE YESTERDAY ON NEWS EIGHT AT FIVE, AN ELDERLY COUPLE IN LANCASTER COUNTY SCAMMED OUT OF $74,000.
