A 28-year-old resident of Millstone Township died after the motorcycle she was operating collided with another vehicle on Perrineville Road in Monroe on Aug. 26.
Rebecca A. Malter, of the Perrineville section, was pronounced dead at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in New Brunswick, where she was taken following the crash.
Malter was heading south on Perrineville Road between Union Valley and Federal roads when her motorcycle collided with a northbound Kia Optima driven by Fiorella Lahara of Monroe.
Malter was thrown from the motorcycle, according to a Monroe Township Police Department report.
A Hyundai Sonata driven by Robert Kaita of Manalapan struck the motorcycle after the initial collision.
