ALLENTOWN, Pa.—State police say speed does not appear to have been a factor in the crash of a sport utility vehicle into a group waiting at an eastern Pennsylvania bus stop that claimed two lives.

Sgt. Robert Tyler of the Bethlehem barracks told The (Allentown) Morning Call ( http://bit.ly/REBnql) Tuesday that investigators were still checking the vehicle.

Police said the SUV was heading east in Hanover Township on Monday when it hit a utility pole and the victims waiting at a Lehigh and Northampton Transportation Authority bus stop, then plowed through a fence.

Two men were trapped under the vehicle, and 51-year-old Elias Tabarani of Allentown was pronounced dead at the scene. Two other people and the driver were taken to nearby hospitals, and 28-year-old Angel Bosch of Easton later died.
