An East Donegal Township man was killed when his car crashed into a pickup truck on Route 72 in Rapho Township Monday morning.
He was Cesare Puglisi, 28, of Hillcrest Road, Marietta, said Lancaster County Coroner Dr. Stephen Diamantoni.
Puglisi was driving a Scion xB east on Cider Press Road and traveled through the intersection without stopping, county Deputy Coroner James Lingg said. The car struck a pickup truck pulling an open trailer north on Route 72.
It happened shortly before 7:30 a.m. near Anthony L. Landis Auto Sales, south of the Pennsylvania Renaissance Faire and the Pennsylvania Turnpike.
Lingg pronounced Puglisi dead at the scene and said he died accidentally from multiple traumatic injuries. He was wearing his seat belt.
Puglisi graduated from Donegal High School in 2005, newspaper records show.
The driver of the pickup truck is an Elizabethtown man about 51 years old who works for S.L. Siding & Exteriors in Lititz, according to Samuel F. Lapp, the owner of the business. He was taken to Lancaster General Hospital. Lapp did not know the extent of his injuries.
“He was on his way to a job site,” Lapp said.
Manheim Borough police are investigating.
Route 72 was closed in both directions for four hours.
