A car damaged in a pedestrian crash Sept. 11, 2018. (Photo: TRPD)<\/p><\/div>\n

Toms River police say a township man walked into a lane of traffic on Route 9 earlier this week and was hit by a car.<\/p>\n

Samuel Mauro, 81 of Manchester Twp., was traveling north on Route 9, approximately 370 feet south of Route 70 on Tuesday at about 2:40 p.m., police spokeswoman Jillian Messina said.\u00a0 Michael S Goldberg, 60, of Toms River, was walking eastbound and was attempting to cross Route 9.<\/p>\n

Goldberg successfully crossed the southbound lane of Route 9, but when he attempted to cross the northbound lane, he stepped into the path of Mauro\u2019s vehicle and was struck.<\/p>\n

\u201cGoldberg was not crossing within a crosswalk and was attempting to cross Route 9 mid-block,\u201d a statement from police said. \u201cHe improperly crossed the roadway and additionally failed to yield the right away to Mr. Mauro, causing the collision.\u201d<\/p>\n

Goldberg was transported by Toms River Police EMS to Jersey Shore Medical Center and is listed in critical but stable condition.<\/p>\n

There is no evidence of impairment and there were no other injuries, Messina said. Anyone who witnessed the accident is being asked to contact investigating Traffic Safety Officer Robert Westfall at 732-349-0150 x 1306 or by email at\u00a0rwestfall@trpolice.org.<\/p>\n

The investigation is ongoing and no charges have been filed.<\/p>\n
