NEWARK — One person is dead after a Newark crash involving a

motorcycle and a pickup truck.

The motorcyclist died in the crash, which was reported in front of the Meijer gas station on North 21st Street in Newark at 8:40 p.m.

The motorcyclist was southbound on 21st Street and collided with the truck pulling out of the Meijer gas station parking lot, Newark police Sgt. John Brnjic said.

The motorcyclist flew off the motorcycle and hit the pavement, Brnjic said. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

The name of the motorcyclist and the driver of the pickup will not be released until the next of kin are notified, Brnjic said.

It is unknown if the motorcyclist was wearing a helmet. The crash remains under investigation.

The portion of North 21st Street in front of the gas station will be closed for 2 to 4 hours, Brnjic said.

It has been confirmed that the rider had been rinding at a high rate of speed, the driver likely had no way of seeing him coming so fast, was on a learner's permit, no helmet, riding at night, not to mention that's a VERY busy road...

So sad that a lapse of judgement on his part ended his life. Please, as a reminder, get your head right before hitting that starter button, and don't ride beyond your abilities, and the surrounding conditions.
