According to the crash report from the Pennsylvania State Police, the crash occurred just after 4 a.m. on Aug. 28 along the 1700 block of Richlandtown Pike in Springfield Township. Police said a 1999 Volkswagen Jetta was traveling at an unsafe speed for the road conditions while attempting to negotiate a right-hand curve, causing the vehicle to leave the roadway and strike a tree.

According to Orser’s obituary, he was a 2019 graduate of Pennridge High School and Upper Bucks County Technical School who had been working as a diesel technician with Bergey Truck Center for three years. Orser also secured his commercial driver’s license after finishing school and worked as a short-haul dump truck driver at EDP.
