MAURICE RIVER TWP. — A motorcycle accident Saturday afternoon took the lives of two Gloucester County residents and a third remains in critical condition.
Robin Ennis, 48, of Deptford, and Diane Allen, 53, of Mullica Hill, were killed in the crash.
The accident occurred just after 2 p.m. by mile post 3.3 along Route 347, near Belleplain State Forest. The scene is about 30 miles from the destination.
Joseph Moyer, 40, of Dennis Township, was traveling north on Route 347 in his Dodge Ram pickup when he rounded a right turn too wide and entered the opposing lane.
Road conditions were wet on Saturday, though the state police incident report from the Port Norris barracks does not mention it as a contributing factor.
Michael Ennis, 53, of Deptford, was on his Harley Davidson and headed south on Route
The accident occurred along this area of Route 347, just under 30 miles from the Wildwood destination. The Hands Mill Road intersection was detoured following the crash.
347 when he was struck by Moyer. Allen was his passenger and pronounced dead at the scene.
Ennis was transported to Atlanticare Regional Medical Center in Atlantic City, where he remained in critical condition as of late Sunday afternoon.
The Dodge Ram continued south in the northbound lane and struck Robin Ennis on her Harley Davidson. She was also pronounced at the scene.
The pickup eventually came to rest along a guardrail in the opposing lane of traffic. Extensive damage to its front end was visible.
State police spokesman Sgt. Stephen Jones said he had not heard “reliable information on the relationship (of the Ennises) yet.”
A Toyota Scion was headed north and struck Allen’s fallen Harley Davidson.
William Good, of Cinnaminson, was also traveling north and rear-ended the Scion on his Honda motorcycle. He was treated for minor injuries and released. Good declined to comment on the incident, but said he was “not at all associated” with the two who were killed Saturday.
No charges have been brought against Moyer and the incident remains under investigation. Jones did not have information about the number of cyclists riding together at the time of accident or if they were affiliated with any groups.
He had heard the Scion may have been traveling with the cyclists. A vehicle operated by Frederick Jones, 66, of Buena, was also involved in the accident.
Reports from state police, local media and those involved in the accident conflict over which vehicle, if any, was with the group of riders.
The incident remains under investigation by the state police Port Norris barracks and charges are pending.
Attempts to reach the Ennis and Allen households in Gloucester County were unsuccessful.

Of course this sucks, but articles like this should not be posted in the touring section. This happens every day, somewhere. It is part of the risks we all accept as motorcycle riders. Some of you probably disagree, but my opinion is that if I want to hear about everyone's misfortune I'll go to the mainstream media. It does not belong here.
