LENHARTSVILLE, Pa. (AP) - One of three people killed in a fiery interstate crash in eastern Pennsylvania was a longtime state and county prosecutor.

Authorities say 52-year-old Robert Rosner was a deputy attorney general who worked at the state attorney general’s office in Allentown.

He previously worked as a Lehigh County deputy district attorney and a special assistant U.S. attorney. Before going to law school, he was a police officer in Warwick Township, Bucks County.



Northampton County prosecutor Terry Houck said Rosner was liked and respected by everyone - defense attorneys, prosecutors and police.

Edward and Theresa Dearden of York also were killed in the crash Monday on Interstate 78 in Greenwich Township.

State police say a tractor-trailer struck a car, triggering a chain-reaction crash involving seven vehicles.
