According to State Police from Woodbine Station, Ryan C. Toler, 24, of Rio Grande was headed south on a 1997 Suzuki motorcycle when Sandra Timmons, 63, of Shamong Township, operating a 2010 Buick Enclave, was making a left turn from the northbound lane toward the parking lot of Garden Greenhouse and Nursery, 1919 Route 9.
