A New Tripoli man died after his car was struck from behind just after 5 a.m. Jan. 25, while it was parked along Route 22 East, in the area of Schoenersville Road, Bethlehem, Northampton County.

Mark Durrenberger, 56, of 6845 Flint Hill Road, was pronounced dead some 16 hours later, at 8:55 p.m., at St. Luke's Hospital, Fountain Hill Campus, Bethlehem.

Lehigh County Chief Deputy Coroner Paul F. Hoffman Sr. said Durrenberger died of multiple blunt force trauma.
