The 38-year-old man from the township was driving when his car veered off the road around 5:20 a.m. in the area of Kings Highway and Janes Lane. The vehicle then hit a tree, which triggered a massive fire. The force of the impact and the intensity of the flames made the scene truly terrifying.
Despite the severity of the accident, the Lehigh County Coroner’s Office has tentatively identified the man. However, his name will not be released until his identity is confirmed and his family is notified. This process may take several days due to the extensive damage caused by the fire.
In addition to the work of the coroner’s office, state police from the Fogelsville station have launched an investigation. They are meticulously piecing together the events leading up to the crash and will be looking into various factors to determine the cause.
This investigation is of utmost importance as it aims to provide answers and closure to the victim's family and the community. The police are leaving no stone unturned in their efforts to uncover the truth.
An autopsy is scheduled for Tuesday. This crucial step will help determine the exact cause of death and provide valuable insights into the circumstances surrounding the crash. It is a vital part of the legal process and will play a significant role in understanding what happened.
The autopsy will also help in ruling out any other factors and provide a more accurate picture of the events. It is a detailed examination that will shed light on the details that may not be immediately apparent.
