(Lancaster County, PA) A coroner in Pennsylvania confirmed details yesterday about the two measles-related deaths in the state last month which involved infants, and the virus of measles itself caused one of the deaths. 

Dr. Stephen Diamantoni, the coroner of Lancaster County, stated that he told the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention of his conclusions.  

According to Diamantoni, one of the infants passed away on August 14th shortly after his birth of a ruptured spleen and Diamantoni told the Associated Press that a measles infection killed the other infant, who was 6 weeks old when she passed away on August 18th at her home.  

The female infant was born with a genetic birth defect which left her highly vulnerable to an infection.  

Neither of them were old enough to be vaccinated because the first dose of vaccination is typically given at around the age of one. 

This development is happening during a growing outbreak of measles in Pennsylvania.

(Cranberry Township, PA) Law enforcement in a Butler County community is now taking action to keep people safe because they are seeing increased numbers of kids riding electric bikes on the roads. 

According to Cranberry Township Police Lt. William Ahlgren, as electric bikes, e-motorcycles, and electric scooters are becoming more prevalent, they are becoming bigger problems, especially this summer with kids out of school. 

The Cranberry Township Police Department is planning enforcement even though they previously focused on educating kids about where these bikes and scooters can be operated.

These incidents could lead to impounding a vehicle, citations and fines. 

Ahlgren confirmed that some parks in Cranberry Township have been getting damage because kids are riding these electric vehicles in places that they should not be riding them.

Ahlgren also noted that his police department is encouraging parents to speak with their kids about riding safely so they can avoid a tragedy, because parents can be held responsible for the actions of their children.
