Two juveniles were injured Wednesday evening after a minibike collided with a minivan at an intersection in the Pine Lake Park section of Manchester Township.

According to the Manchester Township Police Department, officers responded at approximately 6:35 p.m. on Wednesday to the intersection of Commonwealth Boulevard and Pemberton Street for a report of a crash involving a minivan and a minibike carrying two juveniles.

Upon arrival, officers found a red minibike in the westbound lane of Commonwealth Boulevard with minor damage, along with a gray 2012 Toyota Sienna that had sustained minor front-end damage.

Police said the preliminary investigation determined that the gas-powered minibike, carrying two juvenile females riding tandem and not wearing helmets, was traveling northbound on Pemberton Street. When the minibike entered the intersection with Commonwealth Boulevard, it failed to stop at a posted stop sign and was struck by the westbound Toyota Sienna, resulting in a right-angle collision.

Both juveniles were ejected from the minibike onto Commonwealth Boulevard as a result of the crash. Multiple witnesses at the scene confirmed the sequence of events, according to police.

The 14-year-old minibike operator reported an ankle injury but declined medical treatment at the scene. The 13-year-old passenger was transported to Jersey Shore University Medical Center for evaluation and treatment of injuries that were described as non-life-threatening.

The driver of the minivan, along with two juvenile passengers inside the vehicle, reported no injuries.

Commonwealth Boulevard was closed for approximately 30 minutes while officers conducted their investigation and cleared the roadway.

Assisting at the scene were Manchester Township Emergency Medical Services, paramedics from Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital, Hatzolah, and Priced Rite Towing.

The crash remains under investigation by the department’s Traffic Safety Unit. Police say failure to obey the posted stop sign by the minibike operator appears to be the primary contributing factor.
