Bicyclist killed following collision with car along Jersey Shore, cops say

By

A 52-year-old man riding an electric bicycle was killed after being hit by a vehicle at an intersection in Monmouth County on Tuesday night, authorities said.

The man was riding south on Neptune Boulevard in Neptune Township just before 10 p.m. when he collided with a car traveling east on Route 66, the Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office said Thursday.

Emergency workers brought the bicyclist to nearby Jersey Shore University Medical Center, where he died of his injuries shortly after 1 a.m. Thursday. Officials said he was a resident of the Wanamassa section of Ocean Township but didn’t identify him, pending family notification.

Authorities said he was riding an Ecotric Starfish electric bicycle.

The 33-year-old woman driving the car stopped and spoke with police, authorities said. She was not hurt. No charges have been filed, though the investigation is ongoing.

Anyone with information is asked to call Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office Detective Brian Boryszeswki at 800-533-7443 or Neptune Township police Sgt. James MacConchie at 732-988-8000.
