The time was approximately 8:00 AM in the southbound lanes of Route 202. WPIV and 6ABC.com maintain that the accident occurred along 202, between Swedesford and Mill Roads, in East Whiteland Township. Swedesford Road, however, is not close to Route 202. The nearest frontage road is Conestoga Road.

Both Baskerville and Pierre died at the scene.
