Accident – Death – Obituary News :
Authorities in Bucks County have identified the victim of a tragic crash that took place in the early hours of Sunday morning at the intersection of Green Street and Rickerts Road in Hilltown Township.
According to police reports, the incident began when officers spotted an unregistered Polaris vehicle on Green Street near the intersection with Mill Road at around 1 a.m. on June 2. Suspecting possible impairment, the officers attempted to pull over the vehicle after observing it veering partially off the road.
However, the driver of the vehicle chose to flee down Green Street and then attempted to make a right turn onto Rickerts Road. Unfortunately, they lost control of the vehicle, causing it to flip over. The violent rollover crash resulted in both occupants being partially ejected from the vehicle.
Tragically, the passenger of the vehicle, identified as 35-year-old Joseph Kay from Hilltown, was pronounced dead at the scene. It was revealed that Kay was a dedicated volunteer firefighter with the Plumsteadville Fire Company.
In a statement released by the Bucks County District Attorney’s Office, condolences were extended to Kay’s family and colleagues at the fire company. The driver of the vehicle, who has not been named by authorities, sustained minor injuries but declined medical treatment at the scene.
An autopsy conducted on Wednesday determined that Kay’s cause of death was blunt force trauma. The circumstances surrounding the crash are now the subject of a joint investigation involving the district attorney’s office and the Hilltown Township Police Department.
