WAYNESBORO, Pa. (AP) — Authorities in Pennsylvania have identified the five people killed when an SUV collided with two motorcycles near the Maryland state line.
The Franklin County coroner said Sunday that all the victims are from Pennsylvania.
The four motorcyclists who died are 67-year-old David Russell and 53-yearold Michelle Russell of Mount Joy; 32-year-old Douglas Hoffer Jr. of Quarryville; and 27-year-old Colleen Nesbitt of Gap.

The SUV then spun around and was broadsided by the Russells’ bike.
