Motorcyclist found dead near I-79 in Cranberry 2 days after crash, police say
A deadly motorcycle crash in Cranberry Township near Interstate 79 was discovered more than two days after it happened, Pennsylvania State Police said.
According to the police report, troopers believe 36-year-old Milo Corll was driving his Harley-Davidson on the ramp from Route 228 onto I-79 northbound near the UPMC Lemieux Sports Complex when he crashed sometime around 2 a.m. on Tuesday. But police said he wasn’t discovered until around 9:30 a.m. on Thursday.
Police said Corll’s motorcycle went off the ramp and into an area of saplings and foliage. Corll was thrown from his bike, which continued on until landing on the southern side of the ramp. He wasn’t wearing a helmet and sustained a fatal injury, police said.
Troopers said they were able to confirm the date and time of the crash by using surveillance video from a nearby business, VEG ER for Pets.
Police didn’t release any other details about the crash.
The Cranberry Police Department, the Cranberry Fire Company, PennDOT and the Butler County coroner also responded to the scene.
An overturned truck spilled hazardous materials onto the 62nd Street Bridge late Monday night and crews spent several hours working to contain the spill.
The Cherry City Volunteer Fire Company said it was assistant on a “large scale hazmat incident” along with crews from Allegheny County Emergency Services and the city of Pittsburgh’s Bureau of Fire.
A truck turned onto its side on the Sharpsburg side of the Senator Robert D. Fleming Bridge, also known as the 62nd Street Bridge, late Monday night and the fire company said crews were working to contain the leak.
An aerial view from the KDKA Drone Team around 3 a.m. Tuesday showed the large response from crews working at the scene of the crash.
A first responder told KDKA’s news crew at the scene that the chemical that was spilled was peroxide and the fire company said crews were working to keep the material from entering drainage systems.
Around 4 a.m. Tuesday, the fire company provided an update and said that all “hazardous materials have been mitigated,” but that the bridge is expected to remain closed for an extended period of time.
Drivers are being urged to use alternate routes for the morning commute.
