Paramus NJ, New Jersey State and Paramus Police are still looking for the driver of a motorcycle that was found wrecked and on fire on the Garden State Parkway southbound in Paramus on Monday night.
State Police officials located the bike around 5:30 p.m. The motorcycle was abandoned, and a search for the rider came up empty.Paramus firefighters extinguished the flames. Traffic, meanwhile, was backed up for miles. The southbound left lane was reopened shortly before 7 p.m. and the other lanes soon after. The cause and circumstances of the crash remain under investigation, State Police officials said, and Paramus police put out a call for information as well.
Anyone who witnessed the crash is asked to call Paramus police: (201) 262-3400 or New Jersey State Police: (609) 882-2000.
Hmmm….couple of citations pending once the driver is located.
Can’t look up the owner by the plate # ??
Police are not tipping their hand here….
Quite common when a driver under the influence has a crash, they run home if possible.
All the cops can do the next day is charge them with leaving the scene of an accident vs DWI
I was stuck in that traffic for over 90 mins. Missed dinner plans.
The only thing I can think of is the bike was stolen or something that would have landed the driver behinds bars. Otherwise why run?
Something doesn’t add up here.
