A police investigation revealed Reuther was “traveling at a high rate of speed and failed to negotiate a curve in the road,” according to a press release. Police said he then hit a curb and a road sign before landing in a wooded area in the area of Vermilion Drive and Vicar Lane at around 9 p.m Monday.
Reuther was not wearing a helmet at the time of the crash, police said.
The Levittown-Fairless Hills Rescue Squad transported Reuther to St. Mary Medical Center, where police say he died. However, family and friends say he remained on life-support as of 8 a.m. Tuesday.
