City police responded to the scene of a "serious accident" at 31st and Lehigh Streets at around 8:30 a.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 22, said Assistant Chief James Gress.
Lehigh County Coroner Daniel Buglio identified the victim as 30-year-old Hiram Arroyo of Allentown. Officials said Arroyo died of multiple traumatic injuries after he was hit by a propane truck.
The accident will cause traffic to be "detoured for an extended amount of time," Gress said, but did not give a timeline.
The accident remains under investigation by Allentown police.
