The unidentified man was having an argument with 22-year-old Skylar Peiffer of Lancaster after leaving a party and a "night of drinking" in Lebanon City and heading towards Lancaster. When the fight became physical, the driver pulled over into the parking lot at High Spring Water located at 727 Furnace Hills Pike, Lititz on Sunday, February 12, 2023, at 3:13 a.m., according to multiple police releases the following day by the Northern Lancaster County Regional Police Department.
