Dangerous Intersection👇 A group of good Samaritans sprang into action Tuesday after a tractor-trailer carrying 20 tons of flour flipped over and caught fire at the intersection of Camp Swatara Road & Pine Grove Road in Berks County. Surveillance video shows nearly a dozen people rushing to help the driver escape the wreckage. For Elizabeth Bishop, who lives at the intersection, the crash was sadly no surprise. Over the past 11 years, her home has been hit 4 times, her cars destroyed, and the guardrail repeatedly knocked out. The intersection has seen a series of serious accidents, including 2 crashes in a single day, a drunk driver incident in October, a skid in November, and a milk truck running over a car in December. The most devastating came in 2023, when a man had to be airlifted and later lost both arms after a crash. Despite efforts, including calls and emails to PennDOT and state representatives, little has changed. - For more #local news in Berks, join the waitlist for the Towns Of app — link in bio #pennsylvania #berkscountypa #berkscounty #readingpa #berkspa #panews #townsofpennsylvania

Pilliod volunteered as a tennis coach from August 2024 to March 2025 and briefly worked as a substitute teacher in early 2025. He was charged on August 6, 2025 with institutional sexual assault, corruption of minors, unlawful contact with a minor, and criminal use of communications facilities. He surrendered to detectives the following day and is awaiting arraignment. - Follow for more #local news + join the waitlist for our app — link in bio #pennsylvania #berkscountypa #berkscounty #panews #sinkingspringpa #readingpa #townsofpennsylvania

What are your thoughts? Developers plan to demolish most of the Berkshire Mall in Wyomissing and replace it with a new open-air retail complex. The property is under contract to be sold to Abrams Realty Group of Montgomery County. Developer Peter Abrams said his company intends to raze the 910,000-square-foot mall — except for Boscov’s, which will remain — and replace it with big-box stores and smaller retail pad sites. Wyomissing Borough Manager Michele Bare said early sketches show two to four large retailers and six smaller pads along Woodland and State Hill roads. Abrams said his firm is in talks with several national chains, including some current tenants, but declined to share names while negotiations continue. The project follows years of decline at the Berkshire Mall, which has suffered from sinkholes, disrepair, and widespread vacancies since being purchased in 2020 by Namdar Realty Group. The property became the subject of legal action after borough officials forced Namdar to repair stormwater systems and fix safety issues. Local leaders, including State Sen. Judy Schwank, have pushed for redevelopment, calling the mall “too important to the region” to remain neglected. Abrams said construction could begin in 10 to 16 months, pending permits and site plans, and will include a complete overhaul of parking and stormwater infrastructure. While some residents feel nostalgic about the mall’s past, Wyomissing officials support the plan, calling it a necessary and cost-effective step toward revitalizing the property and restoring it as a local retail destination. - Follow for more #local news #pennsylvania #berkscountypa #berkscounty #berkspa #wyomissingpa #panews #townsofpennsylvania

Excited to see change! A key phase in Reading's downtown redevelopment is underway, as a portion of Penn Street between 4th and 5th streets is temporarily closed for demolition work. However, city officials emphasize that this effort is about preservation, not destruction. According to @jack_gombach, Reading's managing director, aging HVAC systems that could threaten the structural integrity of historic buildings are being proactively removed. To ensure safety, the westbound lane and sidewalks in the area will remain closed 24/7 for approximately two weeks, with drivers directed to a detour via 5th Street, Washington, and 4th Street. This project is part af the Penn Square Redevelopment Project, a multi-million-dollar initiative aimed at revitalizing downtown Reading with new housing, businesses, and pedestrian-friendly spaces. Mayor Eddie Moran envisions leveraging the city's historic architecture and the return of train service to create a thriving urban center. City officials expect this phase of work to be completed by March 14th as they continue efforts to restore and modernize downtown Reading. - (reporting by @69news) Join the waitlist for the @towns_of app, it will provide local news + a place to host events! 🚁 @thedevonguistwite #pennsylvania #berkscounty #berkscountypa #berkspa #readingpa #townsofpennsylvania

fyi The National Weather Service has issued a flood watch for Bucks County, Berks, and parts of Montgomery County beginning 2 p.m. Thursday, July 31, lasting into Friday morning. The region could see 1–3 inches of rain, with localized totals of 5–7 inches and rainfall rates topping 2 inches per hour, creating the risk of flash flooding. A flood watch means conditions are favorable for flooding but it is not yet imminent. Residents are urged to monitor weather updates, avoid flooded roads, and follow the “Turn Around, Don’t Drown” rule: even 6 inches of moving water can knock over an adult, and 1 foot can sweep away a car. - Join our waitlist for the Towns Of app - link in bio 🎥 @berksweekly #buckscounty #buckscountypa #phillysuburbs #berkscountypa #panews #mainlinepa

fyi 👇 Thanksgiving Eve — nicknamed “Drinksgiving” by Berks County police — brings some of the largest bar crowds of the year as college students return home and families gather for the holiday. Exeter Township Police Sgt. David Bentz said the night routinely sees heavy drinking and packed bars: “Kids are home from college, folks are off on Thursday, and it becomes a night where a lot of people head out to drink.” To prepare, departments across the county will deploy extra DUI patrols funded in part by PennDOT. Officers will focus on areas near bars, social clubs, and known trouble spots. Bentz urged people to plan ahead: use Uber, Lyft, or a designated driver. “DUI is a totally preventable crime,” he said. The enforcement push won’t end with Drinksgiving — Black Friday, holiday parties, Christmas, and New Year’s Eve are also major DUI crackdowns. Police will use checkpoints when appropriate, and Bentz reminded drivers that the most effective protection against impaired motorists is simple: “Wear your seatbelt as though your life depends on it — because it really does.” - Follow for more #local news in Berks County #pennsylvania #berkscountypa #berkscounty #berkspa #panews #readingpa #townsofpennsylvania

Have you heard? State officials are investigating the deaths of hundreds of snow geese across the Lehigh Valley region, with avian influenza (bird flu) suspected as the cause. The latest incident occurred at a quarry in Lower Nazareth Township, where officials estimate around 400 snow geese were affected. The Pennsylvania Game Commission is coordinating the testing, removal, and disposal of the birds as part of a broader regional response. Officials say the deaths are part of a wider resurgence of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) that has impacted multiple communities across eastern Pennsylvania since late 2024. Earlier outbreaks in Lower Nazareth and @uppermactwp grew from hundreds of dead birds to thousands, prompting authorities to label the Lehigh Valley an epicenter of the virus’s return. The spread has led to preventive closures at regional zoos, increased monitoring of domestic poultry and dairy farms, and heightened coordination between wildlife, agricultural, and health agencies. While the risk to humans remains low, officials urge residents throughout the region to avoid contact with sick or dead birds and report sightings to state authorities. State officials say the virus continues to circulate at lower levels and are emphasizing caution as migratory birds move through the region. - The video used was not of the dead birds, just a visual representation of the birds in the Quarry which is a yearly occurrence. #lehighvalley #lehighvalleypa #panews #northamptoncounty #berkscounty #buckscounty #townsofpennsylvania
