BETHLEHEM, PA — Police in Bethlehem are investigating a serious crash involving two vehicles and a bicycle that happened Monday afternoon near Wind Creek Casino. The collision led to the death of an adult male who was taken to a hospital after the wreck.
The Bethlehem Police Department said the crash happened just after 4 p.m. on Daly Avenue. Investigators have not publicly identified the man who died.
Crash happened just after 4 p.m. near Wind Creek Casino
The Bethlehem Police Department told 69 News that the collision took place near Wind Creek Casino on Daly Avenue. The scene drew a response because the crash involved both motor vehicles and a bicyclist.
Police said the incident was serious enough to keep investigators working at the location for much of the day. Officials have not said what led up to the crash or how the vehicles and bicycle came into contact.
Coroner says adult male was taken to hospital and later died
Lehigh County Coroner Dan Buglio said an adult male was transported to a hospital with injuries after the crash. He was later pronounced dead.
No additional details about the victim have been released, including his name or age. Authorities have also not said whether anyone else was hurt in the collision.
Daly Avenue stayed closed for hours during the investigation
Daly Avenue was shut down in both directions for most of the day so police could continue investigating the scene. The closure affected traffic in the area near the casino and surrounding streets.
By 8:50 p.m., police had reopened the road. That reopened access came after investigators spent the day documenting the crash and clearing the area.
Police have not said how the collision unfolded
At this stage, officials have released only limited information about the sequence of events. The Bethlehem Police Department has not said which vehicle type hit the bicycle, whether speed or road conditions played a role, or whether any citations are expected.
That leaves key questions unanswered as the investigation continues. For now, the confirmed facts are the time, location, the vehicles involved, and the death of the adult male after treatment at a hospital.
What residents know about the road closure and next steps
The long closure on Daly Avenue is the clearest sign of how seriously police treated the scene. A stretch of roadway near a major local destination was unavailable for hours while officers worked the crash.
Police have not announced any further findings. Any additional information would likely come from the Bethlehem Police Department or the Lehigh County Coroner as the investigation moves forward.
