    Lehigh Valley? Doesn't the York County Coroner do stuff like this? I wonder if they investigate whether phone usage was occurring at the time of crash.

      Most autopsies in cases like this go to Lehigh.

    York County Coroner's can only pronounce death, They have in my lifetime never done a investigative autopsy here. The cell phone issue is up to the police to check.

    May peace be with this young lady. I was one of the first emergency responders on scene Saturday morning. This is a vehicle accident/fire that will remain is the lives of the responders as well. To the family left behind and to her young son, I have been doing this more than 2 decades. If there was anything we could have done, we would have. We also are sorry for your loss.
