• Matawan Boy On Bicycle Hit By Truck Tuesday (patch.com) — Matawan residents are being urged to come forward with any information after a boy riding a BMX-style bicycle was critically injured when a moving truck struck him at Broad Street and Route 34 Tuesday afternoon. The crash shut down the busy intersection for hours, and Matawan police, county prosecutors, and collision experts are actively investigating while withholding further details because the victim is a juvenile.
