There is a reported Motor Vehicle Accident involving a Motorcycle Toll Rd just off of Jonas Rd Effort.
Callers are saying it is a possible fatality.
UPDATE 12:19 pm: MedEvac 2 is on standby in case it is needed.
UPDATE 12:23 pm: Fire is requesting the MedEvac, LZ at Starry Ln and Jonas
UPDATE 12:30 pm: Monroe County Coroner has been requested to the scene. Toll Rd will be closed for an Extended period.
UPDATE 12:37 pm MedEvac 2 has been Cancelled.
UPDATE 01:40 pm: From what we have been told from someone that saw the scene after it happened, a school bus picking up kindergartners was stopped and a car had stopped behind the school bus when the Motorcycle hit the back of the car and the two riders (one male, one female) flew off the bike.
The school bus wasn't actually involved, but as you can imagine the bus driver was upset. We are not sure if any of the kids on the bus saw anything and we hope they didn't.
At this time we are not sure was rider died at the scene nor do we know the condition of the other rider or the person or persons in the car that the motorcycle hit at this time.
UPDATE 4:36 pm: We have just learned that the second rider has been pronounced dead at Pocono Medical Center.
West End Volunteer Fire, West End Ambulance and State Police responding.
I can see it from up the road. It looks like a mess. Prayers for those involved.
My prayers are with all involved.
Very very slow response, Thank you to the Gentleman re- routing traffic.
G. Matt you have to realize that the Merwinsburg Rd Bridge is out so Fire and EMS had to travel up Rt 115 to Jonas Rd which did slow down their response time, but in no way impacted the outcome of the accident.
From reports of a witness. Both rider and passenger on bike was not alive as EMS arrived. Don’t know if EMS revived either patient.
Will they release names ..I know riders in that area
My thoughts and prayers are with the family of the victims, that is the worst phone call anyone could receive…. It also pray none of the children know what happened!
