Robert Allen Rustay, 65, of New Cumberland has been identified by the Cumberland County Coroner’s Office as the motorcyclist killed in a crash Tuesday morning in Lemoyne Borough.
Authorities said the collision occurred around 7:30 a.m. in the 500 block of South Third Street near Clark Street, involving two cars and a motorcycle. The motorcycle came to rest on a lawn nearby. Rustay was pronounced dead at the scene.
The West Shore Regional Police Department confirmed that one individual at the crash site was taken into custody after showing signs of impairment. Another driver involved in the crash was transported to the hospital with injuries.
Pennsylvania State Police are assisting with a crash reconstruction investigation.
Witnesses described hearing the violent impact. “I actually heard it while I was outside… it sounded like things fell off the truck onto the road,” recalled neighbor Diana Richardson.
Police Chief Anthony Minium said responding officers arrived to find one of the vehicles fully engulfed in flames. “I can’t go into any detail yet… but the airbag did deploy,” he noted.
The crash closed a section of South Third Street for several hours as emergency crews worked at the scene.
