A preliminary investigation found that Candelario victim, riding his Yamaha on the far left, “failed to maintain his lane,” sending the cycle into the Freight Liner tractor-trailer in the center lane just after 1 a.m., State Police Sgt. Brian Polite said.
Candelario was pronounced dead at the scene — the second death of an Elmwood Park motorcyclist in Bergen County in a little over 12 hours.
The 34-year-old trucker wasn’t injured, the sergeant said.
New Jersey State Police were joined by the Bergen County Prosecutor’s Fatal Accident Investigation Unit, the Bergen County Sheriff’s Bureau of Criminal Identification, Lodi EMS and Hackensack and Lodi police.
