A 53-year-old man died from injuries sustained in a motorcycle crash on Interstate 476, the Blue Route, in Radnor Township on Tuesday evening.
The incident occurred at 6:35 p.m. near mile marker 10.7, involving a single-vehicle motorcycle accident, according to a release from Pennsylvania State Police. Troopers found the victim unconscious and face down in the left travel lane upon arrival.
Emergency personnel attempted lifesaving measures, but the man was pronounced dead at the scene.
Witnesses reported the motorcycle was traveling at a high rate of speed and weaving through traffic prior to the crash. Authorities confirmed he lost control while changing lanes, resulting in the motorcycle sliding approximately 150 feet before striking a guide rail.
The Delaware County Medical Examiner’s Office responded to the scene; the victim’s name has not yet been released.
Traffic was affected due to lane closures, and an investigation into the accident is ongoing.
