Trevor Binner of Palmyra was trapped in his vehicle when firefighters found his vehicle arrived in woods off Rountop Road around 12:45 p.m. Monday, police said.

The Dauphin County Coroner's Office identified Binner after he was extricated between the Pennsylvania Turnpike and Route 283 in Londonderry Township.

He died of traumatic injuries suffered in the crash, officials said.

According to his obituary, Binner was a junior at Penn State Harrisburg majoring in criminal justice with a minor in psychology. 

He had graduated from Palmyra Area High School in 2019 where he played football, baseball and wrestled.

Services will be Saturday at the Encounter Church of Palmyra, with visitation at Rothermel-Finkenbinder Funeral Home & Crematory, Inc. Click here for details.

More than $18,000 had been raised on a GoFundMe for the Binner family as of Friday.

"This family is living every families worst nightmare right now. There are many questions that will never be answered and so much healing ahead, but what they shouldn’t have to worry about right now is how they will pay for Trevor’s funeral expenses," the campaign reads.

"The Binner’s[sic] have supported our community tirelessly, and today I’m asking you to help me in supporting them. If you’re unable to donate that’s ok, please just keep their family in your prayers during this unimaginably difficult time."
