A crash that resulted in the death of a male motorcyclist is under investigation, Monmouth County Prosecutor Raymond S. Santiago announced on Tuesday.

At 12:08 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 19, Colts Neck police responded to the area of Route 537 and Willow Lake Drive o a report of a motorcycle-versus-electric delivery van (EDV) collision.

A preliminary investigation revealed that a 65-year-old male motorcyclist was operating a 2005 Harley-Davidson, heading east on 537 in the right lane of traffic, when a collision with a 2022 Rivian EDV, driven by a 57-year-old male, took place. The motorcycle then struck a concrete curb and grass island, ejecting the male driver.

The motorcyclist was rushed to a local hospital where he later succumbed to his injuries at 11:17 p.m. The decedent was identified as Stephen Morehouse, of Long Branch.

The driver of the van remained on scene.

No charges or summonses have been issued with regard to the incident at this time.

An investigation involving members of the Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office, Monmouth County Serious Collision Analysis Response Team (SCART), and the Colts Neck Township Police Department remains active and ongoing.
