Motorcyclist Killed In 3-Vehicle Crash In Burlington County: Police

WOODLAND TOWNSHIP, NJ — A motorcyclist sustained fatal injuries from a three-vehicle collision Saturday night in Burlington County, officials said.

State Police identified the decedent as Eric Tomko, 47, of Bensalem, Pennsylvania. No other injuries were reported.

The crash occurred at 8:49 p.m. on Route 72 in Woodland Township. Tomko was traveling east on a Yamaha motorcycle. A Chevrolet Silverado was moving west with a Ford Escape driving directly behind it, said State Police Det. Jeffrey Lebron.

When the Chevrolet tried turning left onto Route 532, the motorcycle hit its rear-passenger side, police said. Tomko was ejected from the Yamaha — both he and his motorcycle hit the passenger-side front end of the Ford, according to Lebron.

The crash remains under investigation.
