New Law Impacts Drivers and Riders
According to initial reports from the accident, police responding to the scene found that an e-bike rider was traveling west in the bike lane, just past Betty’s Seafood Shack. That is when a vehicle, reported as a Toyota Camry, attempted to turn right into a parking space. The e-bike collided into the front passenger side of the car.
The e-bike rider was thrown over the handlebars. They landed in front of the Camry. An ambulance was called to the scene, but the rider refused medical treatment.
The driver of the car was cited for operating a motor vehicle on a suspended license. The vehicle was towed from the scene. The crash took place on the first day of New Jersey’s new e-bike regulations, which classified these vehicles as motorized bicycles that now require licensure and registration. E-bikes must be registered with the state, and riders must obtain insurance before they can ride them.
