LANCASTER COUNTY, Pa. — Police have identified the man who died in a crash on Kleinfeltersville Road two days ago.
Officials say Josiah Maier, of Lititz, was pronounced dead at the scene. It was his 23rd birthday.
According to the Northern Lancaster County Regional Police Department's preliminary investigation, Maier had just left work and was driving at a high rate of speed—possibly more than 80 mph—when he lost control of his 2008 Chevy Corvette Z6.
Police say evidence suggests that the Corvette exited the left side of the roadway, spun through a residential front lawn, struck a large rock and then hit a large tree on the passenger’s side door. Officers did not find any "outside factors" that would have contributed to Maier losing control, and they do not believe any other vehicle or person was involved in the crash.
The NLCRPD crash reconstruction team and NW Lancaster County Crash Unit were called to the scene and will be completing the follow-up investigation, police said. Final outcomes are pending.
Anyone with information is asked to call the NLCRPD at (717)733-0965 or Lancaster County Crime Stoppers at (800) 322-1913. Tips can also be submitted online. Tipsters may remain anonymous.
