The Subaru stopped at the intersection as Falcone began to cross The Boulevard, heading towards the vehicle. Then, as the Subaru began to turn right onto The Boulevard, it collided with Falcone in the intersection.
Falcone was taken to Jersey Shore University Medical Center, Neptune, for treatment of his injuries.
The crash drew a large response from Brick police and EMS. Vehicular traffic on The Boulevard northbound was reduced to one lane of travel for approximately five hours during the investigation. An ongoing investigation is being conducted by the Brick Township Police Department’s Traffic Safety Unit.
