The motorcyclist, Connor Nolan, 20, of Manchester, was pronounced dead at the scene.

The pedal cyclist, Kimberly Reinschmidt, 49, also of Manchester, had internal injuries and cuts on her left arm and hand. She is in stable condition at Jersey Shore University Medical Center.

Police said the motorcycle was traveling west on Route 37 when Reinschmidt began crossing the highway in the painted crosswalk.
