Six Drexel University students on a fraternity trip through Lycoming County were in a one-car wreck early yesterday morning that killed two of them, including the chapter's president, and injured the other four. Police would not provide details, including whether alcohol was a factor in the accident or whether the two who died had been wearing seat belts. John Patrick "Johnny" Williamson Jr., 21, of Havertown, and Ian Alexander, 22, of Royersford, died in the 3:30 a.m. accident on Route 15, two miles south of Liberty, Pa., state police said in a written release. The young men had been headed south at the time of the accident.
Leonard Luchko, a computer technician and former aide of Senator Vincent Fumo, is accused of illegally destroying years' worth of state Senate computer records, apparently in an attempt to hide the data from the FBI during its investigation into Fumo. Luchko will plead guilty on Monday, marking the first plea in the corruption case against Fumo. The terms of the plea agreement have not yet been specified.
