A pedestrian was injured Friday morning after being struck by an SUV on Chambers Bridge Road near the Bank of America branch.

According to Brick Police Sgt David Bedrosian, John Pellegrino, 38 of Point Pleasant Borough, was making a left turn in the bank parking lot when he encountered the pedestrian, Philip B. Boldt Jr., 64, of Lakewood, who was approximately 5 feet from the sidewalk.
