By Rebecca Forand | South Jersey Times

WEST DEPTFORD–A vehicle traveling north on Crown Point Road Wednesday afternoon was struck by a train and pushed approximately 60 yards before leaving the tracks and hitting a curb.

The female driver of the silver MDX was conscious after the accident and transported to Cooper Hospital\’s trauma center. 

Faith Kirby, a West Deptford resident who lives across the street from the train tracks, heard the initial impact and immediately looked outside to see what was happening.

\”We absolutely knew something was wrong when we heard it. They hit her at the intersection and dragged her down here,\” she said, pointing to the location where the car left the tracks and jumped a curb. \”I think it\’s definitely a miracle she\’s alive right now.\”

Witness accounts say railroad crossing lights were flashing and that the train\’s conductor blew its horn on approaching the intersection.

\”I\’m assuming she tried to beat it,\” said West Deptford Police Chief Sam DiSimone.

HARRISBURG – Attorney General Kathleen G. Kane today announced the arrest of two Pennsylvania men on unrelated charges as part of ongoing efforts to target the online sharing and distribution of child pornography.
The latest arrests occurred over the past week in Allegheny and Lancaster counties.

John T. Pembrooke of Allegheny County

The charges state that John T. Prembrooke III, 25, 709 Tamarack Dr., Clairton, Allegheny County, allegedly stole his neighbor\’s Wi-Fi to use peer-to-peer networks to download and distribute apparent child pornography.

Agents, conducting an undercover investigation into the online distribution of child pornography, observed files known to contain graphic images of children being subjected to sexual abuse being downloaded and distributed. The IP address associated with this activity was identified as a residence on Tamarack Dr. in Clairton, according to the criminal complaint.

Upon executing a search warrant at the residence, agents found no apparent child pornography on the home\’s only computer. Agents then discovered that the owner had an unsecured Wi-Fi network at his home. Using a forensic device, agents determined that a foreign device was connected to the unsecured wireless network and located the direction from which the signal was coming.

Child Predator Section agents determined that the home located at 709 Tamarack Dr. was the location of the foreign device. Agents obtained a search warrant and executed a search of the residence, where a laptop and multiple electronic devices were recovered.

After a preview of those devices, apparent child pornography media files were discovered on the laptop. The forensic examiner noted that there were more than 400 videos and images consistent with child pornography.
