The family of a 71-year-old man is looking for answers after authorities said he was struck and killed by two vehicles while riding his bicycle home from work on Route 73.
Maksudur Rahman was working his normal closing shift Friday at the Harmony Diner on Route 73. His colleagues said he would clean the kitchen before leaving for the night.
"He closes the diner, so he'll clean the whole kitchen and make sure the diner is spotless for the next day," manager Courtney McCauley said.

Search for not one but two drivers who police say hit
and killed a man who was riding home from work on his bike.
The victim was beloved by his diner co-workers.
New Jersey correspondent Trish Hartman is live along Route 73
in Voorhees where the 71-year-old man was hit.
Trish, you have the latest.
Yeah, Sarah Christie, this man's family and his work family,
they're all looking for answers here.
Police say he was riding his bike when he was struck.
His co-workers say he had just finished up his shift from work
at the Harmony Diner on 73. Police are looking for not one,
but two vehicles that struck this man and then left the scene.
71-year-old Maxidor Rahman was working
his normal closing shift on Friday at the Harmony
Diner on Route 73. He closes the diner,
so clean the whole kitchen, make sure the diner's spotless
for the next day. His colleagues say it
also wasn't unusual for Rahman to ride his bike home
to Berlin after work. It was around 1.15 a.m. when police
were called to the 100 block of Route 73,
about two miles south of the diner,
when they found Rahman in the roadway.
The Camden County Prosecutor's Office now says it's believed he
was struck by two vehicles that left the area.
He was pronounced dead on scene.
Many of his co-workers found out the next day.
I feel like I was in shock all day.
Everybody was just silent in the kitchen.
It was very quiet.
It was a very quiet day for all of us.
According to the Camden County Prosecutor's Office,
one of the striking vehicles is suspected to be a dark gray
or black 2017 to 2020 Ford Fusion.
The other vehicle is suspected to be a dark colored midsize SUV.
Those who knew him are hoping an arrest is made soon.
There's no humanity, no morals or anything.
Detectives are now combing through surveillance video,
hoping to find some clues as to who did this.
Anyone with any information is asked to contact Voorhees Police
or the Camden County Prosecutor's Office.
