Fiery Double Fatal Crash Victim ID'd [Video]

A horrific crash on MacArthur Road just north of the Lehigh Valley's major shopping strip Saturday left two people dead; one has been identified by authorities.

Sharon Gonzalez-Medina, 41, of Whitehall Township, has been identified as one of two people killed Saturday when a pickup truck hit her car, which burst into flames on MacArthur Road near St. John's United Church of Christ-Mickleys. Newsworking.net has posted graphic video of the car in flames. Gonzalez-Medina's car was turning right onto MacArthur Road from Eberhart Road when she was hit by a pickup truck traveling north at a high rate of speed about 6 p.m., according to the reports. Gonzalez-Medina and her passenger were killed. MacArthur Road (Route 145) will be closed from 9 a.m. to noon Tuesday so state police can reconstruct the accident. Motorists should expect significant delays and use caution driving through the area.

yeah my 2 cents, think it has something to do with our ethanol gas. The way my car has been having problems with the egr and catalytic and exhaust and as hot as it gets when idling underneath to the point you cannot stand near the car it makes me wonder that it won't burn even without an accident, so I could see it going up in flames in the event of an accident and my car is an older car.   more ›
