Mays Landing e-bike crash leaves 14-year-old girl seriously injured
A 14-year-old girl was seriously injured following an e-bike collision with a car on Route 40 in Mays Landing on Friday evening, October 16.
According to Hamilton Township Police, 65-year-old Brian Portnoy was driving a 2008 Chrysler Town and Country eastbound near Walmart Drive when the girl's e-bike moved from the shoulder onto the roadway and struck the vehicle. The girl was transported to a parking lot at the Hamilton Mall to be airlifted by a New Jersey State Police Medevac Helicopter to Atlantic City Medical Center – City Division.
The incident follows recent regulatory changes in New Jersey. As of July, new statewide laws require e-bike riders to be at least 15 years old, possess a valid driver’s or e-bike license, and register their vehicles with the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission.
