Paradise Township woman killed Friday when vehicle hits Rabbit Transit bus

A 55-year-old woman was killed Friday morning when the vehicle she was driving struck the side of a Rabbit Transit bus in West Manchester Township. 

Sherry West, of Paradise Township, was traveling east on West College Avenue around 10 a.m. when her vehicle hit the side of the westbound bus near Alpha Drive, according to a York County Coroner’s Office report.

West was wearing a seatbelt when the crash occurred but received multiple blunt force trauma in the wreck, which led to her death, the coroner’s office said. No autopsy will be performed, but routine toxicology was obtained.

York County Emergency Management spokesman Ted Czech said four people on the bus suffered minor injuries.
