Ciarra Sanchez was heading east on I-78 in Upper Saucon Township when the vehicle veered off the road and struck a concrete bridge pillar on Monday, Nov. 11, according to Lehigh County Coroner Daniel Buglio.
She was pronounced dead on the scene at 1:38 a.m., with the cause of death listed as multiple blunt force injuries.
In the wake of her sudden passing, Ciarra’s mother’s colleagues at Christ Hospital launched a GoFundMe campaign to help ease the financial burden on the family.
