SEPTA train goes up in flames in Delco; roughly 350 passengers evacuated

This story originally appeared on 6abc.

A SEPTA train went up in flames on Thursday night in Delaware County.

It happened around 6 p.m. near the Crum Lynne Station in Ridley Park.

The six-car train was carrying roughly 350 people from Philadelphia to Wilmington when it caught fire. An image shared with Action News showed smoke billowing out of the windows.

According to SEPTA spokesperson Andrew Busch, as the train was being evacuated it was learned the first car was catching fire.

“Very quick action by our crews that that helped allow this to be a safe outcome,” Busch said. “We don’t we don’t know where this started just that it was in the area underneath the train and then obviously engulfed the train in flames.”

A lottery ticket worth $730,000 was sold in Delaware County, Pennsylvania, Tuesday.

The Pennsylvania Lottery announced Wednesday that a Match 6 Lotto ticket that matched all six winning numbers — 4-14-17-19-20-36 — was sold at the ShopRite of Drexeline on State Road in Upper Darby Township. The store will earn a $5,000 bonus for selling the winning ticket.

The winner of the ticket won’t be known until they claim the prize. Winners of the Pennsylvania Lottery Match 6 Lotto have one year from the drawing date to claim it.

If you purchased a winning ticket at a retail store, the Pennsylvania Lottery says you should immediately sign the back of it. Online winnings will automatically appear in a player’s account after the claim has been processed.

More than 29,200 Match 6 Lotto tickets also won prizes during the drawing.

Two other winning lottery tickets were recently sold in the Philadelphia region.

A Match 6 Lotto ticket that won $5,863,758 in the March 16 drawing was sold in Montgomery County. The Sunoco at 330 East Lancaster Avenue, Lower Merion Township, will earn a $10,000 bonus for selling that winning ticket.

Also in Montgomery County, Pottstown Beverage County recently sold a $3 million-winning scratch-off, officials said on March 19.

The Pennsylvania Lottery is the only state lottery to direct all proceeds to programs that benefit older residents. Since ticket sales started in 1972, it has contributed more than $37.2 billion.

Final spotlight on Top 67 players in Delaware high school boys basketball

When the DIAA Boys Basketball Tournament rolls into the Bob Carpenter Center, it always delivers.

A sellout crowd roared through both semifinals on March 11, with fourth-seeded St. Georges knocking off No. 1 Dover 63-57 and second-seeded Howard gritting its way past No. 3 William Penn 54-45.

The seats were filled and the intensity was high again for the championship game on March 14, as Howard turned up the defensive pressure during a 12-0 run in the third quarter to defeat St. Georges 60-46 for the school’s fifth state boys basketball title.

Experience often matters, and Wildcats coach Rahsaan Matthews Sr. knew this could be a special season because his roster was loaded with nine seniors.

We wrap up the 2025-26 season with our final ranking of the top players in Delaware high school basketball, recognizing 67 athletes for their contributions to their teams this season.
