The Man Charged With A Fatal Crash In Lower Providence Now Faces Charges In Lehigh Valley

LEHIGH VALLEY, PA — The Lehigh County man who is facing charges in Lower Providence, Montgomery County connected to a fatal crash that claimed the life of a Chester County man is now facing similar charges in his home county.

Devon Michael Lindeman, 23, who is from the Allentown area, has been charged with homicide by vehicle in connection with a crash that claimed the life of a motorcycle operator and his wife back in June in Whitehall Township.

Lindeman was arraigned in the Lehigh County case on Dec. 27 before Magisterial District Judge Daniel Trexler.

Bail was set at $50,000.

Lindeman already remained free on bail from the Lower Providence case.

The Lehigh Valley case involved the deaths of Robert and Mary O'Rourke, who died from blunt force injuries following a June 21 collision with a FedEx truck driven by Lindeman, according to the Lehigh County District Attorney's Office.

In that case, Lindeman was in the FedEx truck traveling on Route 145 when he veered out of his lane and into the lane of an off-duty police officer, nearly striking the individual. Lindeman then continued on into the path of the O'Rourke's motorcycle, killing the husband and wife immediately, according to the D.A.'s Office.

In Montgomery County, Lindeman is facing charges that he was driving drunk when he veered into the path of a vehicle driven by 63-year-old Paul Conaway of Chester County. Conaway was killed in the crash and two occupants from his vehicle were injured.

That crash happened just a little before midnight on Sept. 18 in Lower Providence Township.
