A 6-year-old boy was killed in a pedestrian crash on October 19, 2026, in the 100 block of Shipton Street outside Mifflinburg Elementary School in Mifflinburg, Pennsylvania.
According to the Mifflinburg Police Department, a driver was headed west in a 2021 Chevrolet Colorado when the boy attempted to cross the street. Police said an eastbound vehicle had passed before the child began crossing.

The department expressed sympathy for the child’s family and the driver and recognized the loss felt by the community. Police also asked the public to give those affected privacy as they grieve.
