Officials identify cyclist killed in crash with box truck in Ocean Township
The Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office has identified the woman killed when she was struck by a box truck while riding a bicycle in Ocean Township on Friday.
Authorities say that Li Wang, 62, died from the injuries she sustained during the crash.
The prosecutor says that Wang was riding her Schwinn bicycle on the sidewalk of Roller Road and stopped for the red light at the intersection of Deal Road. As the light turned green, the prosecutor says the driver of a box truck turned left on Deal Road at the same time Wang was riding across the street. They collided, and Wang was thrown from her bike and landed about 25 yards away.
Wang died from her injuries at the hospital.
Authorities say the box truck driver stayed on the scene after the crash. He was not issued any summonses at the time.
