Father Of 3 Killed In Chesco Motorcycle Accident

NEW GARDEN TOWNSHIP, PA — A father of three was killed in a motorcycle accident in southern Chester County on Monday.

Jeffrey Collins Sr., 31, died after he collided with a car at the intersection of Egypt Run Road and Neward Road in New Garden Township.

The incident occurred at around 9:48 a.m., the Southern Chester County Regional Police Department said.

Collins, of Newark, Delaware, collided with Jemiq Seapan, 77, of Landenberg, who pulled out from a stop sign on Egypt Run Road.

He hit the right side of Seapan's Prius and was thrown from his bike.

An investigation is ongoing, but drugs or alcohol were not a factor, police said.

This incident marks the second fatal traffic accident at this intersection involving a motorcycle and passenger vehicle, police said. Authorities said the two cases were "nearly identical."

A GoFundMe campaign for Collins' funeral has been launched. A total of $970 had been raised as of Wednesday morning.

In addition to his three children, Collins is survived by his wife, who is pregnant with their fourth child.

"We had no savings and no arrangements and all of our money has gone into preparing for our little bundle of joy," she wrote on the GoFundMe page.
