A cyclist struck by a vehicle this morning quickly received the help of a professional, with DPW employee and EMT Dovid Egert being in the right place at the right time.
The cyclist was struck by a vehicle and thrown from his bike around 8 AM at the intersection of Route 88 and Clifton Avenue, but Egert was just seconds away.
“He immediately jumped out of his truck, and began treating the victim,” a resident on scene told TLS.
Egert, a licensed EMT for over 10 years, stabilized the victim until Lakewood First Aid arrived for further treatment.
The unidentified cyclist was transported to the hospital with non life-threatening injuries.
