PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A woman has been charged with third-degree murder and vehicular homicide while driving under the influence in an early morning crash on a Philadelphia interstate that claimed the lives of two Pennsylvania troopers and a civilian. State police said Tuesday that the charges against 21-year-old Jayana Tanae Webb of Eagleville would also include second-degree manslaughter of a law enforcement officer. Police said troopers Martin Mack III and Branden Sisca were trying to get 28-year-old Reyes Rivera Oliveras of Allentown off I-95 when all three were struck by a vehicle “traveling at a high rate of speed.” It’s unclear whether Webb has an attorney.

(Pittsburgh, Pa.) A Mississippi couple is accused of cheating the Rivers Casino out of more than $10,000.
Pa State Police at the Rivers said in a release that at least three times in a 24-hour period 35-year-old Shaun Benward and 42-year-old Denielle Derohan would buy in on the roulette wheel and distract the dealer when the wheel was spinning and Derohan would stand nearby and watch where the ball landed on the wheel. She would then signal Benward before the dealer could see where the ball landed and he would then place his bet.
Charges are pending against the couple at this time

Four GOP Candidates for Governor Set Rules to Join a Debate

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Four Republican candidates for governor in the party’s crowded primary race say they won’t join a debate before the primary election unless it is moderated by a Republican who lives in Pennsylvania and is outwardly neutral in the race. The four — Lou Barletta, Jake Corman, Bill McSwain and Dave White — issued the joint statement Monday night, eight weeks before the May 17 primary election. The Republican primary is unusually crowded, with nine candidates. Democrat Josh Shapiro, Pennsylvania’s attorney general, has a clear path to the party’s nomination. Gov. Tom Wolf, a Democrat, is barred from seeking a third term and endorsed Shapiro.
General Motors Recalls 740K SUVs; Headlights Are Too Bright

DETROIT (AP) — General Motors is recalling more than 740,000 small SUVs in the U.S. because the headlight beams can be too bright and cause glare for oncoming drivers. The recall announced Tuesday comes after U.S. safety regulators turned down a request from the Detroit automaker to avoid the recall. The company is recalling GMC Terrain SUVs from 2010 through 2017. Documents posted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration say reflections caused by the headlight housings can illuminate some areas with too much light. The agency says this can reduce visibility for other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash. GM hasn’t come up with a repair yet. The company expects to notify owners by letter starting April 23.
Ford Recalls F-150 Pickups, SUVs to Fix Brake Fluid Leak

DETROIT (AP) — Ford is recalling nearly 215,000 pickup trucks and large SUVs in the U.S. and Canada because brake fluid can leak and cause longer stopping distances. The recall covers the F-150 pickup from 2016 through 2018, as well as Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator SUVs from 2016 and 2017. All have 3.5-liter turbocharged six-cylinder engines. U.S. safety regulators say in documents released Tuesday that fluid can leak from the brake master cylinder. That can increase brake pedal travel, requiring greater effort and longer stopping distances. Dealers will replace the master cylinder and front brake booster if needed. Owners are to be notified by letter starting April 25.

Joe Greco Looks Back On Three Decades Of Coaching Football
(Matt Drzik/Beaver County Radio)
“I feel that we definitely left something better than when we found it.”
The “something” is the culture of New Brighton Football, and the “we” is Joe Greco and his staff and players throughout the years. Greco officially retired from his post as head coach of the Lions last week, and he joined Matt Drzik on the March 22 edition of A.M. Beaver County to reflect on the three-plus decades of work he committed to the sidelines of Oak Hill Field.
Coach Greco had two stints as New Brighton’s head coach during his career, once in 1995 and again in 2010. “The first time I became the head coach at New Brighton, we were coming off a WPIAL championship…and then the next time I came back to New Brighton, they were coming off of an 0-10 season,” Greco said. “It was like starting from ground zero, from scratch…we took a lot of pride in the effort we put back in rebuilding the New Brighton program.”
From 1995 to 2021, Greco was the man in charge of New Brighton’s ups and downs–except for a three-year spell in which he was on the staff at Westminster College. “Those three years were really a great experience for me,” he said. “It helped me grow as a coach just in knowledge and experience, and so it was very rewarding. There’s relationships from those three years that I’ve cherished.”
