South Abington Township, PA (Oct. 28, 2026) – Just before 8 p.m. on October 28, one person was injured in a crash between a car and a motorcycle on Route 11 in South Abington Township, Lackawanna County, according to officials.
Officials said the person was taken to a nearby hospital. The severity of the injuries is not known at this time. It was not stated whether the injured person was the motorcyclist or someone in the car.
This is a developing story. Details may change as the investigation continues.
PennDOT’s 2024 Pennsylvania Crash Facts and Statistics report counted 3,064 motorcyclist injuries and 219 motorcyclist deaths statewide. Motorcyclist deaths fell from 238 in 2023. Because a rider has little protection in a crash, injuries can be more serious than they first seem, and the evidence that explains what happened can disappear within days.

Was wrongly accused of a very serious Felony 3 account and hired Peter Paul Olszewski. The entire firm of Scartelli Olszewski worked tirelessly to have the Pike County Assistant District Attorney as well as the District Magistrate Judge Dismiss the charges! Very pleased with the outcome of this Law Firm and recommend this Law Firm.
- Kerry S.Dealing with the attorneys over at Scartelli Olszewski was nothing short of satisfactory. Through the entire 4 year process we had, I was constantly kept updated and cared for. More than doing their job, they truly care for their clients which I felt off the first meeting with Melissa. Both my family and I are forever thankful for them!
