MIDDLESEX COUNTY, NJ — A 36-year-old man was fatally injured Saturday morning when his motorcycle collided with a semi-truck in Monroe, according to Daily Voice.
Monroe Township Police said the crash happened at the intersection of Clayton Road and Railroad Avenue, in the Williamstown area. It was first reported at around 11:40 a.m.

Moments later, the motorcyclist collided with the truck.
Emergency responders rushed the rider to a local hospital, where the victim was pronounced deceased at 12:32 p.m., less than an hour later.
At this time, authorities have not reported any charges or citations against the truck driver, who was not hurt in the crash.
An investigation remains in progress.
