July 8, 2012 In Philadelphia early Sunday morning, John Leck Jr. was driving drunk with more than two-and-a-half times the legal limit as a cover story, which does not completely explain why he then drove up an off-ramp the wrong way onto the I-95. He plowed head-on into a motorcycle operated by officer Brian Lorenzo who was heading home from work, and pronounced dead at the scene. In August 2013, Leck pleaded guilty to the murder of the police officer.

Police claim Leck drove up the Cottman Avenue off-ramp the wrong way, heading southbound in the northbound lanes of I-95, before plowing head-on into the motorcycle operated by Officer Lorenzo, who was heading home from work. The 23 year veteran and father of three was pronounced dead at the scene.
