A tragic single-vehicle motorcycle crash in Butler County has claimed the life of a 36-year-old Cranberry Township man whose body remained undiscovered for nearly two days. Milo Corll was found deceased near the Interstate 79 northbound entrance ramp from Route 228 westbound. The incident has prompted sorrow among those who knew him as authorities work to piece together the exact circumstances of the accident.
The crash occurred around 2 a.m. on Tuesday, May 19, 2026, on the Interstate 79 northbound entrance ramp from Route 228 westbound, near mile marker 78 in Cranberry Township, Butler County, Pennsylvania, close to the UPMC Lemieux Sports Complex. Corll, riding a Harley-Davidson motorcycle, failed to maintain control as he entered the ramp and veered off the roadway onto the southern side.
The motorcycle struck multiple saplings and foliage, ejecting Corll from the bike. The motorcycle continued traveling before coming to rest on the southern side of the ramp. Corll was not wearing a helmet at the time of the crash, which contributed to the fatal injuries he sustained.
PennDOT workers discovered the scene around 9:30 a.m. on Thursday, May 21, 2026, while mowing the area. Pennsylvania State Police responded and used surveillance footage from a nearby business to confirm the date and time of the crash. The investigation determined it was a single-vehicle accident with no other parties involved.
Milo Corll, a resident of Cranberry Township, was pronounced dead at the scene from his injuries. The case remains under review by Pennsylvania State Police as standard procedures, including next-of-kin notifications and final assessments, continue. No foul play is suspected in the incident.
This accident has highlighted the dangers motorcyclists face on highway ramps and the importance of helmet use. The community in Cranberry Township and surrounding areas continues to reflect on the sudden loss as more information becomes available from the ongoing investigation.
