A moped driver merged in front of a tractor-trailer right before a fatal Sunday night crash on Interstate 81 in Hampden Township, police said.
Richard T. Fletcher, 70, of Manchester, was in the right lane of I-81 south near mile marker 59.4 around 11:48 p.m., when he merged into the left lane in front of the truck, according to Pennsylvania State Police. State police said the tractor-trailer bumped the back of Fletcher’s moped, causing Fletcher to fall off the bike and onto the highway’s shoulder.
Fletcher died at Penn State Health Holy Spirit Hospital.
