In a tragic incident that occurred on August 3, 2023, Timothy C. McNamer, a 20-year-old resident of Delta, was driving a Jeep Cherokee north on the 1100 block of Woolen Mill Road in Hopewell Township, York County. As he approached the intersection with Draco Road, McNamer was driving at an excessive speed of 65 mph in a 45 mph zone. The road at that location has a cautionary speed limit of 35 mph due to its curvature. As McNamer navigated the bend, he lost control of his vehicle and crashed head-on into a Honda Accord driven by Matthew B. Thompson. The impact of the collision was devastating, and Thompson, unfortunately, succumbed to his injuries. A comprehensive crash reconstruction conducted by the Pennsylvania State Police revealed McNamer’s reckless behavior as the cause of the fatal crash. The investigation determined that McNamer’s excessive speed, combined with his failure to adjust to the road conditions, led to the loss of control and the tragic outcome. The incident serves as a grim reminder of the devastating consequences of speeding and reckless driving, underscoring the importance of adhering to speed limits and driving with due care and attention.
