Nicholas “Nick” Greci, 67, of Red Lion was killed early Friday morning in a head-on, two-vehicle crash on Cape Horn Road in Windsor Township. Emergency crews rushed him to WellSpan York Hospital, where he was pronounced dead later that morning.
According to Daily Voice, the collision unfolded around 5:30 a.m. near the intersection of Cape Horn Road and Woodridge Drive. Investigators say Greci was heading south when a northbound vehicle crossed into his lane and struck his car. Deputy Coroner Jacob Clevenger responded to the hospital, and Forensic Pathology Associates performed an autopsy. The York County Area Regional Police are leading the investigation, officials said.
Remembered by Classmates and Coworkers
Word of Greci’s death quickly moved through his old neighborhood and beyond, with friends and former classmates posting memories and condolences online. Public records and social media profiles indicate he was originally from Flushing, Queens, and had also lived in Florida and Maryland before settling in York County, per Daily Voice.
One former classmate, Vinnie Fortunato, remembered him as “best known as the Crimson Pirate in Flushing High School.” A coworker, Andrea Loveland, wrote that she had lost “a good co-worker, a friend,” underscoring how far his reach went from Queens hallways to York County workplaces.
Investigation and the Coroner’s Role
The York County Area Regional Police Department, which serves Windsor Township, posts major incident updates and investigation summaries on its official site. The York County Area Regional Police Department is the agency expected to release any new information on the crash, including possible charges or contributing factors as they are confirmed.
The York County Coroner’s Office is responsible for certifying deaths in these cases, with deputy coroners responding to hospital or crash scenes. The county outlines those duties on its official site, and outside forensic pathologists are brought in to conduct autopsies when required, as happened in Greci’s case.
What Comes Next
Authorities have not yet released more details about the other vehicle involved or what might have led up to the crash. Investigators say additional information will be shared as the inquiry moves forward. Anyone with knowledge of the wreck is being asked to contact regional police, while the coroner’s office will publish final findings once the autopsy and related reports are complete.
