Police continue to investigate a motorcycle crash on Hope Road that claimed the life of a 37-year-old Blairstown resident May 30th.
New Jersey State Police (NJSP) said Gerald Grenewicz died in the 2:20 p.m. crash in Hope, just past the Blairstown line of Hope Road, also known as County Route 521 along that section.
NJSP spokesperson Sgt. Philip Curry said an initial investigation indicated that Grenewicz was riding his motorcycle northbound when he veered to the left and struck a metal guardrail and then hit two trees.
Grenewicz was riding a Harley Davidson motorcycle at the time of the accident. The accident occurred at milepost 2.3 in Harmony, Curry said.
