The York County Coroner’s Office has identified the volunteer fire police officer who was struck and killed while directing traffic on Friday afternoon.
Brian Peek, 67, of Newberry Township, was identified as the deceased. An autopsy will be performed Monday, according to the coroner’s office.
Peek was directing traffic near the intersection of Red Mill and Corn Hill roads due to a crash that occurred down the street at Red Mill and Yocumtown roads, according to police and fire officials.
He was struck by a vehicle around 2:20 p.m., according to police. A coroner’s deputy pronounced him dead at the scene roughly ten minutes later.
The coroner’s office said Sunday that “we express our heartfelt gratitude to the fallen fire police officer for their service to our community. Our condolences are extended to the family and the emergency fire and medical services for the loss of a friend.”
