Eighteen-year-old Jordan Nonnemaker of Birdsboro died Saturday in a two-vehicle collision on Old Swede Road in Amity. The driver of the vehicle, junior firefighter Craig Johnson of Amity, is listed in good condition Sunday at Lehigh Valley Hospital.
Police say Johnson lost control of his car and was struck in the passenger side by an oncoming vehicle. Two people in the second vehicle were treated and released.
Amity Fire Chief Kevin Neiswender says Nonnemaker's death hit the fire department hard, especially since many of the firefighters who responded to the accident knew him well. Neiswender says he called in several other departments to help at the scene because many of the Amity firefighters were upset.
