Chief Deputy Coroner Jeffrey R. Conner said his office is listing three fatalities, including the unborn child. "By law we have to issue a fetal death certificate," he said.
Conner said autopsies would be performed on Crystal and Stephanie Helman today at Lehigh Valley Medical Center in Allentown, Pa.
The accident happened at 3:15 p.m. when a westbound 1998 Ford Escort sedan driven by Christine Cole, 29, of Falling Waters, W.Va., attempted to make a left turn into a driveway across from Long Lane. The car was struck on the passenger's side by a 1993 Ford Explorer driven by Teresa Kay Welsh, 36, of 9685 Masters Road, Waynesboro, according to police.
