Clay Twp, PA – Mitchell Martin Injured in Motorcycle Crash on Mt Airy Rd

Clay Township, PA (July 1, 2022) – During the early morning hours of Friday, July 1, a man was seriously injured in a motorcycle crash in Clay Township.

According to officials, the accident happened at the intersection of Mount Airy Road and Forrest Hill Road. A pickup truck that was pulling a trailer was traveling north in the area when the driver stopped at the stop sign. The driver then proceeded through the intersection. A motorcyclist was traveling in the area and was unable to stop in time to avoid a collision with the pickup truck. The two vehicles collided with each other as a result.

Paramedics, fire crews, and several other responders were dispatched to the scene to help those in need. The motorcyclist, who has since been identified as Mitchell Martin, sustained severe injuries and was rushed to a local hospital for treatment.

The roadway was blocked at the intersection for an extended period of time. Police quickly worked to clear the scene so traffic could return to normal.

Police continue their investigation into the circumstances of the accident at this time.

We offer our thoughts to the party injured in this accident with hopes of a speedy recovery.

Motorcycle Accidents in Pennsylvania 

Motorcycle accidents are some of the most severe accidents on our roads in the state of Pennsylvania. This is due to the fact that motorcyclists have few protections from harm in the event of an accident. In 2020 alone, it was reported that approximately 3,398 motorcycle accidents took place within the state of Pennsylvania. Though drivers of passenger vehicles are supposed to pay close attention to the roads around them so motorcycle accidents can be prevented, this does not always occur. If you have been hurt in a motorcycle accident, you should be prepared to speak with an attorney that you can trust.
