A deadly motorcycle crash in East Falls Philadelphia was a tragic start to this Memorial Day weekend. Two motorcycle riders who were riding their bikes around Roosevelt Boulevard and Ridge Avenue early Saturday morning, have now been pronounced dead.
Police say the crash occurred around the early morning hours Saturday, approximately at 1 a.m. One of the drivers who has now been identified as Willie Singletary, 54, of Yeadon, Delaware County, lost control of his motorcycle after striking a guard rail. Singletary was ejected from the vehicle and suffered such serious injuries that he was soon pronounced dead at Albert Einstein Medical Center just one hour later around 2 a.m.
More details about this crash are under investigation. According to reports, Teresa Gibson of Philadelphia was also killed in the Saturday morning crash. Northbound Route One was closed for several hours after Saturday's accident. There is still no word on the exact cause of the crash.
Many motorcyclists become injured or are killed each year while riding their bikes on main roads, sometimes at no fault of their own. Often times, actions caused by other drivers, particularly those in cars and other larger vehicles cause injuries to motorcycle riders. If your loved one has been injured in a motorcycle accident or other motor vehicle accident, contact a Philadelphia injury lawyer or a Philadelphia accident lawyer right away.
