Reading, PA (July 10, 2022) – One person was killed in a fatal motorcycle crash that took place in Reading on Saturday afternoon, July 9.
According to Berks County officials, the accident happened around 12 p.m. at the intersection of PA-724 and Spohn Road. An SUV was traveling in the area when it started to make a left turn in front of the motorcycle. This caused the two vehicles to collide with each other, which led to extensive damages.
Several local responders, including paramedics and fire crews, were immediately dispatched to the scene to help those in need. The motorcyclist, identified only as a 66-year-old, was tragically pronounced dead at the scene due to his injuries. It is not known if anybody else was hurt in the accident.
The driver of the SUV remained at the scene but it is not known if they received charges in the accident. The roadway was blocked at the intersection for a period of time until police cleared the scene.
No further details have been released but the investigation into the accident continues at this time.
We offer our deepest condolences to the family of the deceased victim during this difficult time.
