Upper Gwynedd Township Police have released the identity of the victim who was killed in a fatal crash on Sumneytown Pike on Sunday morning.
Police have identified the victim as 72-year-old John Monte, of Mildred Avenue in Roslyn.
Police were dispatched to the 900 block of Sumneytown Pike at 8:28 a.m. on Oct. 18 for a report of a two-vehicle crash. Upper Gwynedd Police Chief David Duffy said that a Chevy Monte Carlo — driven Monte —was traveling eastbound on Sumneytown Pike towards North Wales when a Subaru Forester — driven by an 82-year-old female from Lansdale — was attempting to make a left turn into the westbound lane of Sumneytown Pike from the Sumney Forge Shopping Center.
