Motorcyclist dies in Marple crash on October 18 – Delco Times

A motorcyclist who was seriously injured He died in an accident on October 18.

Marple Township Police Chief Brandon Graeff said his department had not yet received official confirmation.

However, Graeff said he saw an obituary for Ryan Wagman, 20, who was the young man who had been involved in the accident who said he died from injuries caused by an accident.

The obituary says Wagman died Oct. 28 at Jefferson Hospital, so it would be the responsibility of the Philadelphia Medical Examiner’s Office to notify law enforcement jurisdiction.

The accident occurred outside the Bank of America at 1980 S. Sproul Road in Marple around 9:45 p.m. when his motorcycle collided with a four-wheeled vehicle that was heading north.

There were no other injuries.

Graeff said the juvenile driving the vehicle was turning left into the bank parking lot. The driver and a minor passenger reported seeing the motorcycle, but said it was at the light entering the Lawrence Park shopping center when it began to turn.

A witness reported he was stopped at that southbound traffic light, Graeff said. That witness said the motorcycle “swiped” past his right at a high rate of speed just as the light turned green, the chief said.

Graeff said the motorcyclist was traveling in a group, but had gotten so far ahead of the other motorcyclists that they did not see the collision.

After the accident, Wagman was rushed to Lankenau Medical Center and then transported to Jefferson Hospital.

A GoFundMe has been created for Wagman, a 2022 graduate of Marple Newtown High School.

Her obituary said that in lieu of flowers, those wishing to make contributions toward funeral services may do so by calling the funeral home directly at 610-583-2727 or by clicking the donation link.
