A 2024 vehicle accident involving the stepson of Downe Township Mayor Mike Rothman has ignited controversy, as residents question the use of taxpayer funds to settle the matter and demand more transparency from local officials. On June 21, 2024, Nicholas (Nico) Haines was driving along Maple Avenue in the Dividing Creek section of Downe Township when the roadway allegedly collapsed beneath his truck.

When you buy a car, there’s an expectation that the safety features, like airbags, will protect you when the unthinkable happens. Airbags are meant to cushion the blow in a crash, to minimize injury, and to safeguard you in the event of an accident.
