A 58-year-old New Jersey man was killed Thursday in a crash along Route 100 in Lehigh County, authorities said.
The Lehigh County Coroner’s Office identified the deceased as George J. Cowan of Collingswood, Camden County.
Cowan was pronounced dead at the scene shortly before 4:30 p.m. He died from multiple instances of blunt force trauma and the death was ruled an accident by Lehigh County Coroner Daniel A. Buglio.
The two-vehicle collision happened in the 5500 block of Route 100 in Lowhill Township. Cowan was identified by state police as the driver of one of the vehicles.
It’s unclear what led up to the accident. Trooper Nathan Branosky, public information officer with Pennsylvania State Police’s Troop M, couldn’t immediately be reached for more details Friday morning.
Pennsylvania State Police in Fogelsville, along with its Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Specialist (CARS) team, as well as the Lehigh County Coroner’s Office, continue to investigate.
