MILLSTONE -- A man was injured Tuesday morning after a car hit him after his motorcycle became disabled on the highway, police said.
Zyair Barnes, 19, of Neptune, was riding his motorcycle eastbound on Interstate 195 in Millstone when, he told police, his bike broke down, said Sgt. First Class Gregory Williams, a spokesman for the New Jersey State Police.
Barnes stopped in the middle lane on the highway, Williams said. A car traveling behind Barnes was able to stop, but that vehicle was hit, causing it to crash into Barnes.
Barnes was taken to Jersey Shore University Medical Center in Neptune for injuries that are not life-threatening, Williams said.
Another driver involved in the crash who complained of wrist and back pain was taken to Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in Hamilton.
Two of the three lanes on 195 eastbound were closed for the crash. All lanes were reopened at 11:08 a.m.
Williams said a summons is pending for Barnes.
