Motorcyclist Wesley Reuther, 33, of Vermillion Way in Falls Township, passed away more than 15 hours after he was taken to St. Mary Medical Center following a Monday night crash at Vermilion Drive and Vicar Lane.

Friends of the 33-year-old visited a small memorial throughout the day Wednesday to set up to remember the 1998 graduate of Pennsbury High School.

The makeshift memorial sprang up hours after the crash in the wooded area near where Reuther’s body was thrown at around 9 p.m. Monday night.

According to Falls police, Reuther was “traveling at a high rate of speed and failed to negotiate a curve in the road.” Police said he then hit a curb and a road sign before landing in the wooded area. Reuther was not wearing a helmet at the time of the crash, police said.

Despite initial word from police early Tuesday morning that Reuther had died, family and friends told LevittownNow.com that he remained on life-support well into the day.
