A man died Sunday afternoon in Burlington County, New Jersey after the lawn mower he was riding caught fire. It happened around 2:30 p.m. on the 2220 block of Saylors Road in Jobstown, Springfield Township. The mower somehow caught fire while the 79-year-old Roger Lippincott was riding it. He was killed by flames and smoke trying to put it out. Police are investigating the cause of the fire. Lippincott, retired, was a longtime member of the Springfield Township Fire Company.

Officials in Burlington County, New Jersey are investigating after the body of a man was found inside a clothing donation bin in Pemberton. It was discovered inside a Planet Aid donation box behind the Country Farms and Metro PCS store on Pemberton Browns Mills Road. Police were called around 2 p.m. when some by bystanders saw the man's leg sticking out. At first they thought it may have been a hoax by dialed 911 when they determined it was a person. Police say that he may have been a transient looking for clothes and got stuck. No cause of death has been determined and no identity has been released.

Two teenagers are in the hospital after a double-stabbing in South Philadelphia. It happened just before 6:30 p.m. Sunday at 15th street and Oregon Avenue. A 14-year-old boy was stabbed once in the left side of the back. He is in stable condition. A 16-year-old boy was stabbed once in the right side of the neck. He is in critical condition. They were both taken to Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. The suspect is at large. No weapon was found at the scene.
