Details Released in Saturday’s Motorcycle Crash on Bethlehem Pike

Hatfield Township Police have released the details of a two-vehicle crash that occurred on Saturday afternoon along Bethlehem Pike near the intersection with Unionville Pike.

According to the release, police were dispatched to the scene at 3:55 p.m. for a report of a two-vehicle accident with injuries.
