MINERSVILLE, Pa. Police in Schuylkill County are cautioning parents after a teen was badly hurt in an accident involving fireworks.
The recreation complex in Minersville stays mostly quiet, even in the summer months.
Richard DiBiase has lived right next to the park for 13 years. It’s little league, people at the pool during the summer, kids playing basketball, people walking the path, he said.
DiBiase said he ll occasionally hear the light pop of fireworks. But what he heard Sunday afternoon was much louder.
