According to Montgomery Township Police Lt.

The motorcycle struck the rear passenger-side of the Hyundai as it turned in front of it, then continued and struck the front of the Nissan, police said.
The driver of the motorcycle, identified as a 33-year-old male from Doylestown, was pronounced dead at the scene, police said. The drivers of the Hyundai and Nissan, identified as a 36-year-old male from Lansdale and a 59-year-old woman from Blue Bell, were uninjured.
The operator of the motorcycle was wearing a helmet at the time of the crash, according to police.
