Jason Byczynski, 40, of Peach Bottom Township, has been identified as the man killed in a single-vehicle crash on Tuesday morning, Jan. 7, Pennsylvania State Police and the York County Coroner’s Office said.
Byczynski was driving northbound on Meadow Trail Road near his home when his pickup truck swerved, struck a stone pillar, crossed the roadway, hit a mailbox, and collided with a telephone pole, authorities said. He was pronounced dead at the scene at 9:05 a.m. An autopsy was completed Wednesday, but the cause and manner of death remain pending further testing.
Byczynski, remembered as the primary caregiver to his four daughters—Julia, Katie, Emilee, and Aimee—was reportedly on his way to work when the crash occurred just a block from their home. His sudden passing has left the family devastated, according to a GoFundMe created by family friends Neal and Kerry Smiley.
“Jason was not only our neighbor; he became part of our family,” the fundraiser reads. “Throughout the community, many of you knew him as the guy that would be there or the guy who would take care of it. ‘Handled’ was a famous line he liked to spout.”
