Authorities have identified the motorcyclist killed in a crash in Newark on Monday.

Jose Garcia, 36, of Brooklyn, New York, died following the collision on Mount Prospect Avenue at about 9:45 p.m., the Essex County Prosecutor’s Office said.

Investigators found that a 2006 Nissan Pathfinder traveling north attempted to turn left into 696 Mount Prospect Avenue when it was struck by the southbound off-road motorcycle.

Garcia was taken to University Hospital in Newark, where he was pronounced dead at 11:03 p.m. on Monday, the prosecutor’s office said.

The motorcycle was unregistered and possibly stolen, according to the office.

The prosecutor’s office previously described the motorcycle as “reported stolen.”

The driver of the Nissan remained at the scene, according to officials.
