Julio Ricardo Munoz, 45, was killed in the crash in the southbound lanes between the Rockhill Drive\/Neshaminy Mall exit and the Pennsylvania Turnpike in Bensalem around 5:30 a.m. on Tuesday, April 7, Bensalem Township Police said.<\/p>\n
Munoz had been driving a 2007 Honda Fit that experienced mechanical issues and came to a stop in the middle lane of Route 1, according to police.<\/p>\n
He exited the vehicle, and moments later, the Honda was struck by an approaching 2022 Kia Seltos, causing the Honda to hit him, authorities said.<\/p>\n
The Honda was then struck again by a 2017 Jeep Cherokee.<\/p>\n
Munoz suffered fatal injuries at the scene, police said.<\/p>\n
A passenger in the Honda was taken to Jefferson-Torresdale Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.<\/p>\n
Video from the scene showed multiple vehicles with heavy front-end damage as police diverted traffic away from the highway.<\/p>\n
All southbound lanes were closed for more than four hours as crews worked the scene and conducted an investigation. The roadway has since reopened.<\/p>\n
Police said drugs and alcohol do not appear to be factors in the crash. The investigation is ongoing.<\/p>\n
