Trial begins in car vs. motorcycle death
Friends and family wore yellow ribbon pins Tuesday in remembrance of a man killed in a 2018 vehicle crash during the first day of the trial for the woman accused of his death.
On June 29, 2018, David Vandoren, 50, died as a result of blunt force trauma when his motorcycle was hit by a vehicle on Route 19, Lancaster Township.
The vehicle was driven by Teresa S. Lim, 25, of Colorado, and she was charged with homicide by vehicle, involuntary manslaughter and other charges.
The trial began Tuesday, Jan. 17, and will resume Wednesday, Jan. 18 before Common Pleas Judge Timothy McCune. A jury of six women and seven men heard the testimony of five witnesses.
Laura Pitchford, assistant district attorney, set the scene of the crash by explaining that Vandoran was traveling in the northbound lane on Route 19 when he was hit by Lim, who was attempting to pass someone in the southbound lane.
