PENNSYLVANIA — A police pursuit in Cumberland County ended in a fatal crash Thursday evening, according to the Pennsylvania State Police.

Just before 7 p.m., an officer with the West Shore Regional Police Department attempted to stop a motorcycle in the borough of Wormleysburg for multiple traffic violations.
