Fatal Pennsylvania motorcycle crash investigation

Overview

Bernadette Ann Cobb, a 55-year-old woman from New Jersey, faces homicide and involuntary manslaughter charges following a fatal collision in Luthersburg, Pennsylvania.

According to police affidavits, the incident occurred on August 12 when Cobb veered into the path of a Harley-Davidson on Route 332. Cobb claimed she was startled by an insect flying into her SUV, causing her to lose focus. The crash resulted in the deaths of motorcyclist Anthony M. Sones, 34, and passenger Miranda S. Wormuth, 30. While authorities noted Cobb did not appear impaired at the scene, she had an existing ignition interlock restriction on her license. Cobb has since posted $100,000 bail, and her attorney has characterized the event as a ‘tragic accident.’
