The 59-year-old motorcyclist was tragically pronounced dead at the scene due to traumatic injuries. A female passenger in the minivan, who has not yet been formally identified, was rushed to Temple University Hospital after her arm was severed in the collision.

Due to the severity of the accident, a large portion of the road was blocked in the area for some time.
