MEDFORD, NJ (AP) -- Police say a man who drove his car into a cyclist in New Jersey was sending a text message about a drug deal.
Authorities say 42-year-old Lisa Granert of Cherry Hill was riding her bike and wearing a reflective vest in Medford after 6 p.m. Monday night.
Police say 28-year-old Robert Sharrer of Pemberton told them he was texting when his vehicle drifted onto the shoulder and crashed into Granert. She's in stable condition.
Police say the text was about a drug deal.
Police say they found unauthorized prescription drugs in Sharrer's car and charged him with drug possession. They say he'll also be charged in the collision. Police did not know whether Sharrer had an attorney.
