Thomas Toolan was heading east on his 2008 Harley-Davidson on the 7600 block of Allentown Boulevard "at a suspected high speed" when he veered into the right shoulder and struck the guide rail around 10:15 p.m., PA State Police said.

Toolan was thrown from the bike and hit his head before he came to a stop in the shoulder. The motorcycle continued east over the concrete median and struck two trailers on the other side of the highway and then came to rest in a parking lot, authorities said.

Toolan was pronounced dead at the scene. Police initially thought the incident was a hit-and-run crash, as they could not locate the motorcycle.
