A motor vehicle being driven by a 59-year-old man was attempting to turn left at the Centennial and South Washington Avenue intersection when he struck a motorcyclist head on. The motorcyclist, a 49-year-old Edison man, was traveling straight on one of the roads when he was hit by the car. He died at the scene.

No one in the car was injured during the accident. According to reports, alcohol is not expected to be a factor in the crash and both people involved in the accident were acting on green lights. The investigation into this fatal accident is still underway.
