Injuries suffered by a pedestrian near the Little Silver train station Saturday afternoon do not appear to be serious, police said.
Still, shortly before 6 p.m. traffic was being diverted around the scene of the 3:22 accident as members of the Monmouth County Serious Collision Analysis Response team continued their investigation, Detective Greg Oliva tells redbankgreen.
