EAST BRUNSWICK, NJ - A 19-year-old East Brunswick man was ejected from his motorcycle and seriously injured in the car accident we told you about Wednesday evening on Ryders Lane at Tices Lane.

The young man was driving his 2012 Kawasaki motorcycle north on Ryders Lane near Tices Lane at 4:39 p.m. Wednesday. As he approached Tices Lane, a 2015 Subaru Forrester operated by a 57-year-old Jackson woman was making a left-hand turn onto Tices from Ryders Lane southbound.
