A 20-year-old woman from Brick was killed Saturday night when the motorcycle she was riding hit a car that had broken down on the Garden State Parkway, according to State Police.

Sierra Abbott was a passenger on a motorcycle driven southbound by Michael Meluso, 49, of Brick, when it struck the rear of a Ford driven by Simone Lubarsky, 21, of Staten Island, N.Y., that had stopped in a travel lane, said Trooper Christopher Kay.

Abbott was killed after being thrown from the motorcycle. Meluso was taken to Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in New Brunswick, where he was listed in critical condition today, Kay said.

Lubarsky suffered minor injuries in the crash that occurred at 11:04 p.m. at milepost 126.3 on the Parkway in Sayreville, Kay said. Three southbound lanes of the Parkway were closed for three hours after the accident, he said.
