On April 8, 2026 at approximately 12:55 a.m. Upper Allen Police observed a vehicle travelling southbound on US Route 15 at a high rate of speed. As police attempted to catch up to the vehicle to initiate a traffic stop, it accelerated, turned off its headlights, and attempted to exit onto Cumberland Pkwy. However, the vehicle lost control, flipped over the opposing lane of travel, and came to a rest on its roof in the wooded area south of the roadway. The operator, who was later identified as Alexander Gish, left his passenger behind and fled into the wooded area. Gish was later located and due to his need for medical treatment, was not immediately arrested. Charges will be filed at a later date.

Upper Allen Police were assisted on scene by East Pennsboro Township Police, Camp Hill Borough Police, Lower Allen Township Police, Mechanicsburg Borough Police, Upper Allen Fire Department, Upper Allen Fire Police, Mechanicsburg Fire Department, and Penn State Health Life Lion EMS.
