Vehicle strikes porch
A vehicle careened into a home’s porch Friday night in New Oxford, according to Eastern Adams Regional Police (EARP).
The driver, Linda Lupian, said a steering malfunction caused the vehicle to veer off the road, up an embankment, and into the porch at 102 Berlin Road, police said.
She said she was westbound in a 2015 Honda Accord “when the steering wheel started to shake,” according to EARP.
