A traffic fatality along Plum Creek Road near Sunbury today

SUNBURY – One person was killed early this morning in a crash in Rockefeller Township, Northumberland County. State troopers at Stonington tell us, 20-year-old David Rouse of 872 Plum Creek Road died that crash around 3:40a.m.

Northumberland County 9-1-1 told us, the crash happened near the intersection of Plum Creek and Carroll Roads. Troopers say the driver was traveling at an apparent high rate of speed, went off the road on a curve, hit a pole and ended up in a field.

David Rouse of rural Sunbury was pronounced dead on the scene by the Northumberland County coroner. State police investigated and had assistance from Sunbury police, Stonington Fire Company and Sunbury’s Friendship Fire Company. PPL and Verizon were also called in to repair the pole. (Ali Stevens)

Sunbury’s river front project discussed at NorCo comm’s meeting

SUNBURY—Northumberland County commissioner Vinni Clausi would like the county to get a slice of Sunbury’s $1 million Growing Greener grant. The grant is earmarked for the rip-rap (or large stones), which will be used to help stabilize Sunbury’s riverbank.

Clausi complained at the commissioners meeting Tuesday that the county should dip into Sunbury’s grant and give some money to Milton and other riverside communities. Clausi argued, the project is controversial said the money could have been better spent in other communities.

But Commissioner Chair Frank Sawicki said the county is just a ‘pass-through’ agency and the county can’t stake a claim in the money. He also said Sunbury qualifies as a Northumberland County community, and the riverbank which will be preserved is also in Northumberland County. The decision to regarding the grant was made by a previous commissioners board—that Clausi was not part of.
