The accident, which occurred shortly before 8 a.m., involved multiple vehicles and resulted in two fatalities.
The first victim, identified as 30-year-old Nicolas Bolotine, was pronounced dead at the scene.

The second victim, who remains unidentified, is referred to as John Doe in the coroner’s report. This individual was also pronounced dead at the scene, shortly before 8 a.m. According to the coroner, John Doe was a pedestrian who was struck by a tractor-trailer after exiting his vehicle. The report revealed that John Doe had been outside his vehicle, attempting to push it off the roadway, when he was hit. Like Bolotine, John Doe’s death was caused by multiple blunt force injuries, though in this case, it was due to a pedestrian/motor vehicle accident.

The coroner’s office is working closely with both state and federal agencies to determine his age, residence, and identity. While the investigation continues, authorities have not released any additional details regarding the circumstances surrounding his identity or the crash.
The Pennsylvania State Police, Fogelsville Station, and the Lehigh County District Attorney’s Office are continuing their investigation into the crash.

Authorities are encouraging anyone who may have witnessed the crash or has information about John Doe’s identity to come forward, as their ongoing investigation aims to piece together the events that led to this devastating incident.
As the investigation progresses, the community remains hopeful that more information will be uncovered about the circumstances of the crash and that justice will be served for the victims and their families.
