The victim told police he was riding on East Forest Avenue between Teaneck Road and Arlington Avenue when he was struck around 8:30 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 15, Teaneck Police Chief Andrew R. McGurr said.

The victim was taken to Hackensack University Medical Center with injuries that the chief said didn't appear life-threatening.

A witness reported seeing a lime green-colored sports car flee westbound on East Forest Avenue, McGurr said.

Soon after, Officers Glenn Coley and Aundra Ellington found the vehicle parked nearly a half-mile away on Selvage Avenue, he said.

It had "damage that was consistent with the accident," the chief said.

The vehicle was impounded as part of the ongoing investigation, he said.
