His vehicle hit a tractor-trailer and spun into another car. Two other vehicles crashed while trying to avoid the first accident, said Marple Police Chief Brandon M. Graeff.

Two people, including Winters, were taken to Lankenau Medical Center. On Monday night, medical examiners informed police that Winters died at the hospital.

It's unclear what caused Winters's vehicle to drift onto the wrong side of the road.

The Montgomery County Coroner's Office plans to examine Winters on Tuesday to determine his cause of death.
