Driver, dog thrown from vehicle in crash
Police responded to the report of a one-vehicle crash in the 300 block of Meadow Valley Road, just west of the Royer Road intersections, at about 2:55 p.m.
Officers arrived to find the semi-conscious driver, Edward Falk, 59, of Lititz, laying on the road, with a dog nearby, outside of an overturned small SUV.
