Lawrence Township, NJ — Tragic Motorcycle Crash Claims Life of Pennsylvania Man Benjamin Boyers
Lawrence Township, NJ – The community is mourning the tragic loss of 44-year-old Benjamin Boyers of Levittown, Pennsylvania, who was killed in a fatal motorcycle crash early Friday morning in Lawrence Township, New Jersey. The devastating accident occurred just before 7 a.m. at the intersection of Franklin Corner Road and Princeton Pike, prompting a swift emergency response from local law enforcement and EMS personnel.
According to the Lawrence Township Police Department, officers were dispatched to the scene around 6:48 a.m. following reports of a single-vehicle collision involving a motorcycle. When first responders arrived, they discovered Boyers unconscious and critically injured near his motorcycle. Immediate life-saving measures were administered on-site, and he was transported to Capital Health Regional Medical Center in Trenton. Despite all efforts, Benjamin Boyers was later pronounced dead at the hospital.
Preliminary findings from the crash investigation indicate that Boyers was riding a 2023 Royal Enfield motorcycle, traveling eastbound on Franklin Corner Road when he lost control of the bike and struck a telephone pole. The impact of the crash was severe, and the circumstances surrounding the loss of control are still under thorough investigation.
As a result of the crash, Franklin Corner Road between Princeton Pike and Brunswick Pike was temporarily closed to allow investigators from the Lawrence Township Police Department and the Mercer County Prosecutor’s Office Serious Collision Response Team to conduct an extensive on-scene examination. The closure caused minor traffic disruptions during the morning commute as authorities worked diligently to reconstruct the incident and gather critical evidence.
At this time, investigators are working to determine the factors that led to the fatal crash. Speed, road conditions, and mechanical issues are all being considered. Authorities are appealing to the public for assistance and are asking anyone who may have witnessed the crash or who has any relevant information — including possible dashcam footage — to contact the Lawrence Township Police Department.
The news of Benjamin Boyers’ untimely death has left his loved ones in shock and grief. Friends and family describe him as a hardworking, kind-hearted individual with a passion for motorcycles and the open road. Those close to him say he was someone who could be counted on — a loyal friend, devoted family member, and a man who lived life with quiet courage and integrity.
Boyers’ passing marks a profound loss for both his Pennsylvania community and the extended network of people he touched throughout his life. While the investigation continues, the focus now turns to honoring his memory and supporting his loved ones through this incredibly difficult time.
As the community comes to terms with this heartbreaking loss, tributes are pouring in on social media, and loved ones are planning ways to honor Benjamin’s life and legacy. A memorial ride and celebration of life are expected to be held in the coming weeks to remember a man who left this world far too soon.
Rest in peace, Benjamin Boyers. You will be deeply missed, remembered always, and honored by those who loved you and continue to ride in your memory.
