Officials said earlier that the victims of the March 28 crash near the Minersville exit of I-81 were all between 40 to 70 years old and all burned beyond recognition.
“All of the decedents were found in the group of vehicles that were on fire,” Deputy Coroner Albert Barnes said.
Moylan said the coroner’s office is working with out-of-state law enforcement to get DNA samples to be sent to a national lab for testing against material recovered from crash victims. He said it will take “at least a week and maybe another week to get the results.”
