Kassandra Milkewicz Obituary, Death – The woman who lost her life in a multi-vehicle crash early Monday in Lehigh County has been officially identified by the Lehigh County Coroner’s Office as 36-year-old Kassandra Milkewicz.
Milkewicz, a resident of Lansford in Carbon County, was pronounced dead at the scene following the collision, which occurred just after 1 a.m. in Lynn Township. According to authorities, the fatal accident involved three vehicles and took place along Route 309.
Pennsylvania State Police reported that Milkewicz was driving a 2020 Hyundai Tucson traveling north on Route 309 at the time of the crash. At the same moment, a 20-year-old man from Bethlehem was driving a 2005 Honda Civic eastbound on Mosserville/Mountain Road. A third vehicle, a tractor-trailer operated by a 53-year-old man from New Ringgold in Schuylkill County, was heading south on Route 309.
The crash occurred when the paths of these vehicles intersected, resulting in a devastating collision. Milkewicz sustained severe injuries and died on impact. The coroner confirmed that her cause of death was multiple blunt force trauma sustained during the crash.
Further information regarding what exactly caused the crash has not yet been determined, and the state police are continuing their investigation. Authorities have not indicated whether weather, speed, or any form of impairment played a role in the deadly incident.
The other drivers involved in the crash have not been publicly identified, and there has been no official word on whether they were injured or if any charges are expected as the investigation continues.
The fatal crash has left the community mourning the sudden and tragic loss of Kassandra Milkewicz. Family and friends are grieving as they await more answers about the circumstances that led to the accident.
Route 309, where the crash occurred, is a frequently traveled roadway in Lehigh County. The section near Mosserville/Mountain Road can be especially busy during the day and quiet but potentially hazardous at night due to lower visibility and higher speeds.
This incident is a stark reminder of the dangers that can come with nighttime driving and complex intersections involving multiple roadways. As state police continue to review evidence, interview witnesses, and reconstruct the crash, they are asking anyone who may have seen what happened to come forward.
No further updates have been released, and it remains unclear whether surveillance footage or dashcam recordings might help provide additional insight into the moments leading up to the collision.
Meanwhile, the community of Lansford and surrounding areas mourns the loss of a 36-year-old woman whose life was unexpectedly cut short in a tragic crash. The investigation remains active, and more details are expected once state police complete their findings.
