Toms River police are investigating an accident Friday night in which a bicyclist suffered injuries after being struck by an SUV.
The 11:18 p.m. accident Friday night occurred at the intersection of Hooper Avenue and South Shore Drive. According to police spokeswoman Jillian Messina, 20-year-old Moshe Ehrman, of Toms River, was riding his bicycle in left lane on Hooper Avenue at the time of the incident.
