Motorcyclist Hospitalized After Route 70 Crash At Lakehurst Circle

LAKEHURST, NJ — A Howell Township man has been hospitalized after a motorcycle crash on Route 70, Lakehurst police said Thursday.

Kevin Sullivan, 67, suffered serious injuries when he was thrown from his motorcycle, a silver 2006 Yamaha, when he hit a curb as he was changing lanes from Route 70 onto Route 37 about 5:30 p.m. Monday, Lakehurst Detective Madelyn Poss said.

Sullivan's motorcycle hit the center median of the Lakehurst Circle, scattering debris along Route 37, she said.

He was flown to Jersey Shore University Medical Center in Neptune, Poss said, and remains there as of Thursday.

Poss said Patrolman Anthony Florio is investigating the crash, but speed and driver inattention appear to be contributing factors.

Assisting at the scene were members of the Lakehurst Fire Department, Joint Base Fire Department, Lakehurst Volunteer First Aid squad and Robert Wood Johnson paramedics.
