Medford man killed in N.J. accident
A Medford man died Sunday when his motorcycle overturned on the rain-slicked New Jersey Turnpike near Jersey City, New Jersey State Police said.
Marc Hauptman, 49, lost control of a 2007 Kawasaki as he was riding east on the turnpike near the Exit 14C toll plaza, overturning the bike, police said.
Hauptman, who was wearing a helmet, was ejected and taken to Jersey City Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead at 9:18 p.m., police said.
The incident report cited the wet roadway as likely contributing to the driver losing control, but the crash is under investigation, the spokesman said.
