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.

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