York Village Firefighter Nick Hilton arrived on scene shortly after York PD to find Rt. 1 littered with debris and multiple vehicles all over the road. With the request of York PD,
FF Hilton requested Engine 1 to shut the entire road down. Four more ambulances and Squad 2 were requested to the scene as well.
