HANOVER TOWNSHIP, Pa. If there is a disabled vehicle on the side of the interstate, a new law in Pennsylvania requires you to move over like this or slow down.
But first responders say despite efforts to spread the word, not everyone is doing that. I would say chronically they re not moving into the other lane, and it s obviously it s an open lane that they could get to safety. So they re not doing that, said Trooper Deanna Piekanski.
HANOVER TWP. â Goodbye Troop P, Wyoming. Welcome Troop P, Wilkes-Barre.
The Pennsylvania State Police on Tuesday ended one era and started another by moving its longtime Troop P headquarters from Wyoming Borough to a state-of-the-art new facility in Hanover Twp. along the South Valley Parkway.
âAfter 100 years approximately, PSP Wyoming is going back to its original roots in Wilkes-Barre,â Troop P spokeswoman Trooper Deanna Piekanski said. âThereâs a lot of memories. There were a lot of friendships forged here. Thereâs a lot of history. But this will better enable us to keep up with the times and better serve our community.â
Wyoming Valley Drug and Alcohol and Wyoming Valley West High School held a S.O.B.E.R event to educate the public of the dangers of distracted driving and driving under the influence.
