A 19-year-old Philadelphia man was killed in the crash that occurred in the Holland section of the township.
A light rain fell Thursday on the makeshift memorial set up to remember Roman Pankiv, 19, of Philadelphia, who was killed last Friday night when the car he was driving left the road and ended up in a cornfield off Holland Road. The memorial can be found at the crash site on Holland Road, between Hope and Rocksville roads. Three passengers, who suffered injuries, were in Pankiv's BMW when it left the roadway, hit a tree stump and landed in a cornfield, according to authorities and Phillyburbs.com.

She remembers the man behind the counter, with a stiff plastic collar and a big handlebar mustache. There was bin after bin along the counter, all filled with interesting items..
