A recent accident took the life of a man in eastern Pennsylvania. The man died this Monday after he lost control of his vehicle and it flipped into a ditch on the side of Interstate 78.
According to new reports, a Lehigh County woman told police the man began chasing her after she had made an obscene gesture at him for braking suddenly. The woman then says the man began to chase her before the accident took place. The man was taken to a hospital by emergency workers, where he was pronounced dead.
Authorities will continue to investigate the accident.

The trial for a Pittsburgh area man will soon start for his involvement of the fatal stabbing of a high school cheerleader.
The jury for the trial was recently picked this Monday. The man accused of stabbing the teenage girl is 20 year-old. He has been charged with criminal homicide in the death of a 16 year-old girl who was a cheerleader at her high school.
This trial is important to look at because the defense seems likely to make the trial about the acne medication Accutane. If a link can be proven between the Accutane and the death of the cheerleader, then the man may receive a lesser sentence because it could have made him unstable at the time of the incident.
More information on this trial will be released in the future.

A truck driver has recently been sentenced to one to five years in jail for the death of a woman in May of 2007. The man was driving a large truck that was hauling tombstones at the time of the accident.
The driver has taken methamphetamines before the accident took place. The man's truck struck a car on Route 64, killing a 57 year-old woman.
The sentence is said to be appealed, as the defense claims that the woman turned into the path of the truck which attributed to the accident.
