Harrisburg, PA : Motorcyclist pronounced dead after Lehigh County crash on Sunday, February 19th 2017

A male motorcylist died Sunday following a crash along a curve about a half mile away from Route 309 in Heidelberg Township.

Lehigh County Coroner Scott Grim said he pronounced the male dead shortly after the 4 p.m. accident along Hunsicker Road. No one else was involved in the crash, Grim said.

Auhorities are withholding the name of the deceased until family is notified. An autopsy will determine the exact cause and manner of death.

A witness at the scene said several emergency workers were present, as well as Pennsylvania State Police in Bethlehem and firefighters.

Fire crews appeared to be roaming around a nearby wooded area.

Other people arriving at the scene were crying, according to the witness.

A Lehigh County 911 Dispatch supervisor referred questions to state police. A trooper at the Pennsylvania State Police Bethlehem barracks said the crash was still being investigated and didn't immediately have information on what led to the accident.

The trooper said a news release would be sent out Sunday evening.
