Robert Perotti, 53, of Tuckerton was thrown from his motorcycle and seriously injured when he crashed his 2004 Suzuki on April 10; apparently he overshot the entrance ramp in a merge onto eastbound Route 72 from northbound Route 9 in Manahawkin, Stafford Township police reported.

A retired combat medic driving by stopped and “rendered life-saving measures until paramedics and police arrived on scene,” police said.

Perotti was not wearing an approved helmet at the time of the crash, according to police.
