A man and a woman were killed last night when their motorcycle crashed into a car in Gloucester County, officials said today.

Geovanny Toro, 22, of Dunellen, N.J., and his 19-year-old passenger, Anna Lee Jiminez, of Bushkill, Pa., were on a Kawasaki motorcycle that had been following a southbound Toyota Avalon on Delsea Drive in Pitman, said Bernie Weisenfield, spokesman for the Gloucester County Prosecutor's Office.

The motorcycle collided with the Toyota shortly after 10 p.m. near Pitman Drive, sending the biker flying into a tree and his passenger onto the ground.

Toro died on the way to Kennedy Memorial Hospital in Washington Township. Jiminez was declared dead at the scene. The driver of the Toyota, a 71-year-old man returning from work, was not injured, Weisenfield said.
