Bensalem Man Killed In 3-Vehicle NJ Crash: Police

BENSALEM TOWNSHIP, PA — A Bensalem man has been killed in a three-vehicle collision Saturday night in Burlington County, N.J., authorities said.

Eric Tomko, 47, of Bensalem, was identified as the motorcyclist who sustained fatal injuries from the crash, N.J. State Police said.

No other injuries were reported.

The crash occurred at 8:49 p.m. on Route 72 in Woodland Township, N.J., police said.

Tomko was traveling east on a Yamaha motorcycle. A Chevrolet Silverado was moving west with a Ford Escape driving directly behind it, State Police Det. Jeffrey Lebron said.

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.
