The Trenton woman — whose name was not released — was operating a mini motor bike in the center lane of Route 1 South near Buffalo Wild Wings in West Windsor when she was hit by a North Brunswick man driving a Ford around 10:40 p.m., local police said.
The woman was dressed in dark clothing and had been operating the bike without lights, authorities said.
The woman was thrown from the bike and landed on the roadway, where she and the bike were hit by several more vehicles as a result of the heavy traffic, police said.
The Ford driver immediately stopped to help the victim, and a BMW driver from Trenton also stopped and waited for officers’ arrival, police said.
The woman was pronounced dead around 11 p.m. by Dr. Samson of the Capital Health Regional Medical Center.
Route 1 South was closed for about four hours following the crash, which remained under investigation.
