Montgomeryville, PA (July 17, 2024) – A 43-year-old Chalfont man was killed in a motorcycle accident on Tuesday morning, July 16, in the greater Montgomeryville area, per local authorities. Officers were called to the scene just before 9:00 a.m., and authorities added that the incident happened at the intersection of County Line Road and Limekiln Pike.

Police investigations say the motorcycle was traveling eastbound on County Line Road when a truck attempted to turn left onto Limekiln Pike, allegedly in front of the motorcycle. The motorcyclist allegedly struck the back passenger side of the vehicle before spinning and hitting an SUV. The victim was rushed to an area hospital, where he later passed away from his injuries. At this time, the incident is being investigated, however, and no further details were reported.

We offer our deepest condolences to the deceased man’s family.
