The state police are looking for a vehicle involved in a fatal three-vehicle collision that happened Monday afternoon in Upper Hanover. The vehicle – described as orange/brown or faded red – may have light to moderate damage along the front left bumper or fender from the incident, which occurred on Route 663 immediately prior to Northgate Boulevard.
An East Greenville man driving a 2004 black Honda Civic died as a result of injuries sustained in the crash, which occurred at 4:43 p.m. William Bender, 38, was driving south on Route 663 when the trailing unknown vehicle struck the right rear bumper of his vehicle near the entrance to the Northgate Development.
It fled the scene and was last seen traveling south on Route 663 towards Pennsburg, according to a news release from the state police's Skippack barracks.
The force of the impact propelled Bender's car into the opposite lane of traffic, where it was struck on the passenger side by 2003 gold Buick LeSabre driven by Edward Kabakjian, 84, of Pennsburg. Kabakjian was transported from the scene with moderate injuries, according to law enforcement officials.
Anyone with information on the incident should contact the state police at 610-584-1250.
