Wolfe, 20, was killed in a collision at the intersection of Kelly and Reservoir drives around 11:15 p.m. on June 24. Police said the driver of the SUV was traveling eastbound and after realizing a U-turn could not be completed, entered the path of Wolfe traveling westbound on his 2004 Triumph motorcycle.<\/p>\n
Police said the motorcycle struck the SUV, trapping Wolfe underneath.<\/p>\n
The driver fled the scene and dragged Wolfe for more than one mile until he became dislodged in the area of Fountain Green Drive.<\/p>\n
Wolfe was rushed to Penn Presbyterian Medical Center and was pronounced dead at 4:41 a.m. on June 25, police said. Wolfe was wearing a helmet.<\/p>\n
Wolfe just completed his sophomore year as an actuarial science major within the Fox School of Business and was enrolled in the Temple and Fox honors programs. He was a recipient of both the Provost\u2019s Academic Scholarship and the Fox School of Business Endowed Scholarship.<\/p>\n
Wolfe graduated from Hazleton Area in 2024, was a state award winner in Future Business Leaders of America and competed with his brother, Tyler, in the school\u2019s unified sports program.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"An arrest was made Thursday in connection with the hit-and-run crash that claimed the life of Hazleton Area…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":970159,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[5132],"tags":[5229,279080,5295,728,95967,50,1448,2830,1311,20348,158231,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":["post-970158","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-philadelphia","tag-america","tag-conyngham","tag-crime-and-public-safety","tag-local-news","tag-luzerne-county","tag-news","tag-pa","tag-pennsylvania","tag-philadelphia","tag-philadelphia-county","tag-top-stories-hzs","tag-united-states","tag-united-states-of-america","tag-unitedstates","tag-unitedstatesofamerica","tag-us","tag-usa"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/117011815532079102","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/970158","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=970158"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/970158\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/970159"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=970158"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=970158"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=970158"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
