Bethlehem Township, Pa. — A 21-year-old woman died Tuesday night after her vehicle collided with a utility pole following a crash on Freemansburg Avenue, police said.

Officers responded to the scene around 9:33 p.m. and found the woman, the sole occupant of a black Volkswagen Beetle, deceased inside the vehicle. Her identity will be released by the Northampton County Coroner’s Office.

Investigators determined that the Volkswagen was traveling eastbound when it crossed into the westbound lane, sideswiped a silver Ford Focus, and then crashed into a utility pole. The 29-year-old driver of the Ford was uninjured.

The roadway remained closed for about seven hours for investigation and utility repairs. Authorities continue to investigate the cause of the crash.
