A nearby incident on the Delaware River has left a woman in critical condition.
According to the Lower Makefield Township Police Department, on Sunday, July 24, shortly before 2:30 p.m., a 48-year-old Hispanic female from Trenton was swimming in the Delaware River near the Lower Makefield/Yardley boat ramp on River Road. Officials noted that a person standing on the boat ramp observed the woman in distress, waving her arms and going under the water.
