BUSHKILL TOWNSHIP, PA : Roseto motorcyclist killed in Route 512 crash in Bushkill Township on Wednesday, 21st September 2016

A motorcyclist from Roseto was killed Wednesday afternoon in Bushkill Township when his bike collided on Route 512 with a pickup truck turning into his path, authorities said.

Richard Gower, 47, of the 400 block of Liberty Avenue, was pronounced dead at Route 512 and Miller Road, the Northampton County coroner's office said. The crash happened about 2:55 p.m.

The pickup appeared to be turning left from Miller Road to go south on Route 512 as the biker was coming north, said Thomas Heath, who lives at the intersection.

"By the time he [Gower] reacted, he was out of room," Heath said. "I don't know if he even had time to put his brakes on."

Gower landed 5 feet from his bike, Heath said.
