Exeter Township Parking Lot Tragedy: How a Boscov’s Pickup Truck Claimed Two Lives and What Victoria Families Need to Know The Incident: What Happened in Exeter Township It was a typical Monday afternoon in Exeter Township, Pennsylvania—until it wasn’t. Around 3:10 AM on February 18, 2026, in the parking lot of the Boscov’s department store on the 4500 block of Perkiomen Avenue, a pickup truck struck two women who were walking through the lot. The impact was immediate and devastating. Ann Arena, 76, of Caernarvon Township, Berks County, was killed. A second woman, whose name hasn’t been released, was hospitalized with injuries that remain unknown. The pickup truck remained at the scene, and the driver stayed to cooperate with investigators. Emergency crews worked for hours, measuring skid marks, documenting the scene, and collecting evidence. But here’s what we don’t yet know—and what could determine whether justice is served: Were the pedestrians using a marked crosswalk or walking in an unmarked area?

Did a vehicle malfunction, like brake failure or a tire blowout, contribute to the crash?…
