UPDATE:
A collision between a car and a tractor trailer leaves at least one dead in York County.
The accident occurred on Baltimore Pike (Route 194) near the York and Adams County lines. Monday afternoon just after 130 p.m., a Pepsi Truck traveling north collided with a passenger car traveling south, when for unknown reasons the car veered into the truck’s lane.
Police on scene are not certain which caught fire first, but the car and the cab of the truck were completely charred.
There is at least one confirmed dead in the car. The driver of the truck, who is a 45-year-old male from Elizabethtown, was taken to Hershey medical center with minor injuries.
Crews are still working to remove the body from the car.
State Trooper Adam Reed called this one of the worst accidents he's seen in a while, and cleanup is going to take some time.

Our reporter on the scene reports that the collision is between a passenger car and Pepsi truck.
At least one person is dead in the car, but the body is charred beyond recognition. There could have possibly been more than one person in car and forensics will likely have to resort to dental records to ID the victims.

The driver of the truck has been transported to Hershey Medical Center with minor injuries, they have not been identified at this time.
