Thank you to everyone who shared their thoughts on our recent story. We know emotions run high when it comes to children and community safety. Our goal is always to provide accurate updates while respecting those affected.
The details we reported came directly from official sources — including emergency communications from Northumberland and Columbia Counties, a school district press release, and emergency responders on the scene.
Some have asked about our use of the term “mass casualty incident.” While it may sound alarming, this crash met the full definition of that phrase, and it was used exactly as emergency officials described it.
Elysburg Lives exists to keep our community informed. We don’t charge and we’re not paid for our posts — the only reward is knowing our neighbors have the information they need.
