A deadly weekend of motorcycle crashes claimed five lives across Pennsylvania's Lehigh Valley and Indiana's Warren County. In Northampton County, Pennsylvania, Teddy Elphick, 54, died in a single-motorcycle crash, while in Lehigh County, two men died in separate incidents: one collided with a car on West Tilghman Street at high speed, and another was involved in a multi-vehicle crash on Interstate 78 East.
