After Jogger Struck By Car In Maplewood, Driver Will Get Summons: Police

MAPLEWOOD, NJ — A driver whose car struck a jogger at a Maplewood intersection on Friday night will be issued a summons, Police Chief Jim DeVaul said. Meanwhile, the 20-year-old victim has been treated for serious injuries.

Police had said in a Nixle message to residents on Friday night, "Motor vehicle accident involving a pedestrian in the area of Boyden Ave and Menzel Ave. Police and First Aid on scene."

DeVaul said Monday that a 20-year-old man was jogging north up Boyden Avenue and was crossing Menzel Avenue in the crosswalk. At that point, DeVaul said, a car turning right onto Menzel struck him.

He said the driver remained at the scene, but was at fault and "will be issued summons for the violations.”

DeVaul said the jogger was taken to University Hospital and had “serious but non-life-threatening injuries.”
