STAFFORD TOWNSHIP, NJ An 89 year old Manahawkin man suffered a head injury after his Hyundai Elantra struck a parked construction trailer on Charles Boulevard, on Monday, Lt. James R. Vaughn said.

Stafford police responded to the scene at 2:33 pm. on July 16. Adolph Schlesinger was traveling north on Charles Boulevard near Lawrence Drive when his vehicle began to "drift" to the right side of the road on Charles Boulevard, Vaughn said.
