Dehart Manslaughter Trial Nears Verdict in Route 15 Crash
In Franklinville a jury heard evidence in the manslaughter case against William Dehart 37 of Steelton Pa who faces charges in the Route 15 crash that killed a York man and two children. Witnesses described the tractor trailer’s loss of control and the car’s position, while defense and state witnesses debated alcohol odor and vehicle speed. The case, before Associate Judge Patrick M Schnauffer, proceeded with testimony from troopers, Harbaugh family members, and others as the defense contends the trailer swayed and Dehart tried to avert a head on collision.
