LYNN TOWNSHIP, PA — A wave of shock and sorrow is rippling across Lansford and surrounding communities following the tragic death of Kassandra F. Milkewicz, a devoted mother and cherished friend, who lost her life in a horrific three-vehicle crash in the early hours of Monday, July 14, 2025. She was 36 years old.
The collision occurred shortly before 1:00 a.m. at the intersection of Route 309 and Mountain/Mosserville Road in Lynn Township. Kassandra was driving her 2020 Hyundai Tucson northbound on Route 309 when her vehicle collided with a 2005 Honda Civic entering the intersection from Mosserville Road. In a matter of seconds, a southbound 2020 Freightliner SD 122 tractor-trailer was also drawn into the crash.
Authorities from the Pennsylvania State Police, Lehigh County Coroner’s Office, PennDOT, and local emergency response teams responded swiftly. Kassandra was pronounced dead at the scene. The Lehigh County Coroner confirmed that her cause of death was multiple blunt-force injuries, officially ruled accidental.
A Life Defined by Love
Kassandra Milkewicz was so much more than the details of this tragic incident. She was a fiercely loving mother whose world revolved around her children. Friends say her strength came from the depth of her love—protective, nurturing, and unwavering.
“She was the heart of her home,” said one family member. “Everything she did, she did for her children. They were her entire world.”
Her love extended far beyond her family. Kassandra had a remarkable way of making others feel cared for—strangers became friends, and friends became family. Her sweet demeanor and generous spirit left a lasting imprint on all who had the privilege to know her.
“She would give you the coat off her back,” said a close friend. “Kass had this light about her—it was calm, kind, and genuine. You always felt better just being near her.”
A Community in Mourning
Kassandra’s loss has struck a deep chord throughout Lansford, where she was widely known and deeply respected. Whether helping neighbors, supporting school events, or simply offering a listening ear, she was an integral part of the community fabric—humble, giving, and quietly strong.
Born in 1989, Kassandra lived her life anchored in love, resilience, and faith in the people around her. Her legacy is not defined by this tragedy, but by the countless lives she touched with compassion, laughter, and loyalty.
Honoring Her Legacy
Kassandra is survived by her children, who now face a future without their mother’s comforting voice, warm hugs, and guiding presence.
