A motorcyclist and the rider of an electric bike died Friday night in a crash in Bethlehem\u2019s South Side.<\/p>\n
The crash, which involved two motorcycles and the electric bike, happened about 7 p.m. at the intersection of Daly Avenue and the Minsi Trail Bridge, according to city police Chief Michelle Kott.<\/p>\n
The rider of the electric bike, a 46-year-old Bethlehem man, was riding south in the marked crosswalk when he was hit by a motorcycle that was traveling east on Daly Avenue, Kott said. The motorcyclist, a 24-year-old from Quakertown, was riding in the right lane when he hit the electric bike.<\/p>\n
The collision caused the motorcycle to move to the left and hit another motorcycle next to him. Both motorcyclists were thrown from their bikes, the chief said.<\/p>\n
The rider of the electric bike and the motorcyclist that hit him both died from their injuries, she said. The rider of the other motorcycle, a 25-year-old from Bethlehem, was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment of their injuries.<\/p>\n
Anyone with information on the crash is asked to call police at 610-997-7666.<\/p>\n
