An 18-month-old girl has died following a two-vehicle crash in Berks County, the Lehigh County Coroner’s Office announced on Tuesday, Oct. 28.

The child was a passenger in a vehicle that reportedly crossed over the median and struck another vehicle before coming to rest on the roadway below, according to Coroner Daniel A. Buglio.

The crash happened on State Route 222 near the Kutztown Road overpass in Richland Township around 10:50 a.m. Monday, Oct. 27.

She was pronounced dead in the emergency department of Lehigh Valley Hospital–Cedar Crest at 1:24 p.m. that same day, officials said.

An autopsy is scheduled for Wednesday, Oct. 29, at the Lehigh County Forensics Center to determine the cause and manner of death.

The Fleetwood Borough Police Department is assisting in the investigation.
