Harmony Township, NJ (July 7, 2026) – Two motorcyclists were injured on Sunday afternoon, July 5, in a collision at the intersection of Montana Road and Richline Road.
The New Jersey State Police said officers responded to the scene around 4:07 p.m. The two motorcycles were traveling in the same direction on Montana Road when the Ducati rider lost control of the bike and was thrown to the pavement.
The rider of the KTM motorcycle put the bike down to avoid striking the Ducati, police said. Both riders were wounded, though their injuries were described as non-life-threatening.
The Ducati rider was airlifted to a hospital for further treatment. The KTM rider sustained minor injuries.
The wreck remains under investigation, and no further details have been released.
We hope both riders make a full and speedy recovery.
Who Can Be Liable When Two Motorcycles Collide in Harmony Township, NJ?
In New Jersey, liability after a multi-motorcycle crash usually depends on who lost control first and whether the following distance was safe under the circumstances. Crashes that involve two motorcycles can raise complicated questions about how fault should be divided between riders.
Motorcyclists in multi-bike crashes can face road rash, fractures, and head trauma, even when protective gear is worn. Injuries like these can mean extended hospital stays, physical therapy, and time away from work, adding financial strain on top of physical recovery.
New Jersey follows a modified comparative negligence rule, which signifies that an injured rider can still recover damages as long as they are not found more than 50 percent at fault for the crash. Any compensation awarded is reduced by the rider’s own percentage of fault. When two motorcycles are involved, insurance companies tend to try to assign a larger share of blame to each rider to limit their payout.
A motorcycle accident lawyer can help injured riders sort out complicated questions about shared fault between multiple riders. Legal guidance can also help clarify what types of compensation may be available to cover medical bills and lost wages.
