Rider hospitalized after thrown from motorcycle in Brigantine

  • Atlantic County

A Burlington County motorcyclist suffered a serious medical condition Tuesday, after he was thrown from his bike in Brigantine.

Benjamin Campbell, 19, of Chesterfield, was doing a wheelie while traveling south on West Brigantine Avenue when he lost control, according to the investigation.

He was thrown to the ground.

Police were called to the scene just before 5 p.m.

Campbell started to have a serious medical emergency while talking with police and EMTs, according to the report. He was then taken to the hospital by the Brigantine Fire and EMS Department.

He is in stable condition, police said.

Summonses are pending.

Anyone with additional information on this crash is asked to contact Detective Shayne Dugan at 609-266-7600, ext. 273. 

Police Chief Richard Casamento and the members of the Brigantine Police Department used the incident to stress that motorcycles, e-bikes and bicycles need to be operated with the highest degree of safety, especially during the summer season with increased vehicle traffic. 

That includes obeying all traffic laws and making wise decisions.
