Ocean County Prosecutor Bradley D. Billhimer announced that on June 30, 2022, at approximately 1:30 p.m., the Lakewood Township Police responded to the area of New Hampshire Avenue and Route 70 for a report of a Toms River Police Department Motorcycle that was involved in a crash.

An investigation by the Ocean County Prosecutors Office, Lakewood Township Police Department and Ocean County Sheriffs Office Crime Scene Investigation Unit determined that a Toms River Police Officer, who was on duty and operating his department issued motorcycle, was traveling eastbound on Route 70 and entered the on-ramp to continue onto New Hampshire Avenue. Shortly after entering the on-ramp, the Officer lost traction with the road surface and dropped to the roadway. In the process, the Officer was ejected from the motorcycle. The Officer was air-lifted to Jersey Shore University Medical Center in Neptune. The Officer was treated for his injuries and released.

This appears to be an accident caused by a substance on the roadway that caused the Officer to lose traction and subsequently control of the motorcycle. We are thankful that the Officer involved was treated and released and should make a full recovery, Prosecutor Billhimer stated.

The crash remains under investigation by the Ocean County Prosecutors Office, Lakewood Township Police Department and Ocean County Sheriffs Office Crime Scene Investigation Unit
