On Saturday August 21, 2010 at 12:42 PM Upper Allen Police were dispatched to a motorcycle crash on US Route 15 North in the area of mile marker 38.1. The initial investigation reveals that a piece of furniture was laying in the middle of the travel lanes of US Route 15 North. Both lanes of traffic slowed to maneuver around the furniture. Stevens, who was riding a motorcycle, apparently swerved to avoid hitting slow moving traffic, struck a guide rail and was ejected from his motorcycle. Stevens was pronounced dead on the scene of the crash by a representative from Cumberland County Coroner’s office. Stevens was not wearing a helmet.

The crash is still under investigation and Police are seeking any/all witnesses to this crash. If you are a witness please contact the Upper Allen Police Department at 717-795-2445 or 717-238-9676.

US Route 15 North was closed in the area of the crash for approximately 3 hours. Upper Allen Police were assisted by Upper Allen Fire Department, West Shore EMS, Cumberland County Coroners Office, Cumberland County Crash Response Team, and Several Fire Police Agencies.
