The second victim in Wednesday's motorcycle crash in Monroe County has been identified as a 20-year-old woman from Luzerne County.
Faith Villano, of Pittston, Pennsylvania, was still breathing when West End Ambulance arrived at the crash, Monroe County Coroner Bob Allen said Thursday. CPR was administered, but she was pronounced dead at 1:29 p.m. in the emergency department at Pocono Medical Center in East Stroudsburg.
Villano was the passenger on a 2015 Harley-Davidson driven by 22-year-old Daniel G. Weir, of Effort in Monroe County. Allen pronounced Weir dead at 1:07 p.m. at the crash in the 600 block of Toll Road in the Effort section of Chestnuthill Township.
Weir and Villano were in a relationship, according to their Facebook accounts.
The crash occurred at 12:16 p.m. as Weir and Villano crested a hill headed north on Toll Road and came upon a 1997 Chevrolet Blazer stopped in their lane for a school bus. The southbound school bus was stopped and headed to pick up afternoon kindergartners, according to Allen and Pennsylvania State Police at Fern Ridge.
Weir hit the brakes but lost control, and the motorcycle skidded before striking the driver's side rear of the Blazer, driven by 17-year-old Michael Buccieri, also of Effort.
Weir and Villano were not wearing helmets, and both were thrown onto the road, authorities said.
State police determined the crash was caused by Weir speeding, according to a news release.
Allen ruled their causes of death to be blunt-force trauma and the manners of death accidental, following autopsies Thursday at Lehigh Valley Hospital in Salisbury Township.
No one else was injured in the crash, and Buccieri was able to drive his vehicle from the scene, police said.
