Police say they believe a Schuylkill Haven man was driving under the influence of drugs at the time of his fatal motorcycle crash earlier this month.
Back on July 8, at about 7:30 a.m., police were dispatched to a report of a crash along W. Adamsdale Rd. in North Manheim Twp.
At that time, police said 66-year-old Glenn Guldin, of Schuylkill Haven, was trying to negotiate a curve in Adamsdale Rd. but his motorcycle crossed the center of the road. Guldin and his bike hit a guide wire on the side of the road, which ejected the driver off the bike. The motorcycle slide about 4 feet and Guldin was separated from the vehicle.
Both Guldin and the motorcycle were eventually discovered in a wooded area near the crash site. Police say they were found “by citizens multiple hours” after the initial crash report.
The crash closed W. Adamsdale Rd. for several hours that morning.
During the course of their investigation of the crash, in new information from State Police in Schuylkill Haven released early Saturday morning, drugs were found on Guldin and authorities suspect he was under the influence at the time of the crash.
The police investigation into this crash continues, they say.

Yes, the man was wearing protective eyeware .Respondees at the scene didn’t bother ti look long enough if they even looked.A family friend to the crash scene and found the protective eyeware.In police reporting stated that he either jumped or flew off the bike which is a lie YmThe corner stated that they had to lift the bike up in order to get his body out because his one leg was pinned under the bike.Also in the police report they said that his wife stated she tried to call him on his cell phone several times during the day but he never answered his cell phone.That was a lie because the man nevered owned a cell phone !!!! That’s how much the police lie !
