BRICK -- A 49-year-old Oakhurst man died after he crashed his motorcycle into a vehicle Saturday night on the Garden State Parkway, police said.

Sgt. Jeff Flynn, a State Police spokesman, said the crash happened shortly after 8 p.m. at mile-marker 93.2 in Brick.

Flynn said a 2015 Nissan Juke was stopped in the northbound left lane of the Parkway. The vehicle was stopped because a construction zone was being set up in the area, Flynn said.

James Pezet was riding his 2007 Harley-Davidson motorcycle when he crashed into the back of the Nissan Juke, Flynn said. Pezet was ejected from his motorcycle.

Pezet was taken to Jersey Shore University Medical Center in Neptune where he was pronounced dead.

No additional information was available as of Sunday afternoon, and the incident remains under investigation, Flynn said.
