Electric bike rider seriously injured in crash with sedan in gloucester township

An electric bike rider sustained serious injuries Saturday morning after a collision with a sedan at a busy intersection in Gloucester Township, according to local police.

The crash occurred at approximately 11:39 a.m. at the intersection of Lower Landing Road and the Black Horse Pike. Police say the electric bike rider had been traveling on the sidewalk and entered the intersection before striking the sedan. The impact caused the rider to be ejected from the bike.

Emergency responders from Inspira Basic Life Support, Virtua Paramedics, and Gloucester Township Fire Department (Squad 88) provided medical aid at the scene. The injured individual was transported to a nearby hospital for further treatment. Their condition has not been disclosed.

Authorities closed Lower Landing Road between Chews Landing Road and the Black Horse Pike for several hours while investigators with the Gloucester Township Police Department’s Serious Crash Investigation Team conducted a detailed examination of the scene.

“No criminal charges have been filed” as of Saturday afternoon, the department noted in a media release. The identities of those involved are being withheld pending family notification.

Crash remains under investigation by township police

The investigation is ongoing, and police have not confirmed whether speed, visibility, or traffic violations played a role in the incident.

The department issued a public safety reminder urging all roadway users—including electric bike operators—to remain alert, obey traffic signals, and take extra precautions at intersections.

All bicycle riders are encouraged to wear helmets, use reflective gear, and ensure visibility features like lights are functioning properly.

Police continue to collect evidence and witness statements to determine the full circumstances surrounding the crash.
