What the Warminster man did after his motorcycle accident

A 30-year-old Warminster man faces multiple felony charges after he caused a motorcycle crash that seriously injured his passenger and then left the scene of the accident.

Warminster police say Joseph “Sonny” Hudicek should not have been driving at all because his license was suspended for drunk driving at the time of the April 14 accident, according to an affidavit of probable cause.

It was just after 6 p.m. when Warminster police were called to a motorcycle crash on York Road north of Norristown Road and found a woman with injuries including multiple broken bones and abrasions.

A 2005 Harley Davidson motorcycle was located near a curb in the southbound lane of York Road, near Lavera Road, and had severe damage to the front end, the affidavit states.

Officers spoke to witnesses who saw eight motorcycles and a black Ford Mustang traveling north on York Road at a high rate of speed and weaving in traffic prior to the crash.

A man told police he saw several motorcycles and the Mustang behind him revving their engines at a red light. When the light turned green, the witness said, the motorcycles passed him on the shoulder and between cars and in the turning lane.

As the man drove away, he saw a Harley Davidson with a female passenger in the back seat. The woman was not wearing a helmet and appeared to be taking selfies with her cell phone, the affidavit states.

According to police investigations, Hudicek was traveling at almost 160 km/h when the accident occurred.

As the motorcycle with the passenger passed through the intersection with Norristown Road, it went out of control and crashed. The passenger was thrown through the air and fell face first onto York Road.

The witness stopped and helped the injured woman when Hudicek approached him, covered in blood, and said his arm was broken, the affidavit states. Hudicek then left the scene of the accident heading west on Lavera Road, authorities said.

Police later learned from a friend of Hudicek’s that he and others had been at a brewery in Hatboro shortly before leaving on their motorcycles.

The friend told police that when he lost sight of Hudicek, he turned around to find out what happened and saw the accident, the affidavit states. The friend then picked up Hudicek at his mother’s house in Warminster and drove him to the Abington-Jefferson emergency room.

Police found Hudicek at the hospital and he confirmed he was involved in a motorcycle accident, the affidavit said.

Hudicek was arraigned on July 9 before District Judge Christopher O’Neill on a long list of offenses, including aggravated assault with a vehicle and two counts of accidents resulting in death or personal injury, which are considered capital felonies.

He is being held at the Bucks County Correctional Center without posting $50,000 bail.

His lawyer, Michael Kotik, did not immediately respond to an email seeking comment on Monday.
