DeLuxe worker killed in South Centre wreck

SOUTH CENTRE TWP. - A man recently living in Danville died in a one-car wreck off Route 11, just east of the Lime Ridge interchange of Interstate 80 early Tuesday, a coroner said. Jason Snyder, 34, a native of Harrisburg, began working at DeLuxe Building Systems in Berwick about a month ago, said Frank Kynik, the company's human resource manager. Snyder had just gotten off of his second-shift job and was headed home when his car went off the road around 3 a.m., said Ron Taylor, Columbia County deputy coroner.

Four kids, two adults dead in Pa. fire on Mother's Day

POTTSVILLE, Pa. (AP) -- Fire tore through a family's eastern Pennsylvania home on Mother's Day, authorities said, killing four young children, their father and another relative while their mother was across the street doing laundry at a friend's house. The blaze broke out around 11:55 p.m. Sunday at the single-family home in Pottsville. Firefighters later found all of the bodies on the third floor of the building, which sits on a steep hillside not far from the D.G. Yuengling & Son brewery in Pennsylvania's coal country, about 90 miles northwest of Philadelphia.
