Salvatore Deangelis, 31, of Harriman, remained under police guard -- with bail set at $50,000 on an eluding charge -- pending a court appearance scheduled for Monday.
The chase began just before 2 p.m. when a Paramus police officer tried to pull over Deangelis's 2016 Yamaha R1 motorcycle for speeding in and out of lanes on northbound Route 17, authorities said.
A Hackensack police officer was headed toward the pursuit when his cruiser t-boned a car that authorities said pulled into his path at Ross and Summit avenues.
The driver, 67-year-old John Parham of Ross Avenue, later died at Hackensack University Medical Center, authorities said.

Deangelis later was involved in a crash in Maywood that sent him to the hospital. READ MORE....
