Joseph D. Hill of Byram Township and Kashmeer M. Ramirez of Stanhope -- both 19 -- were ejected from their dirt bikes after colliding on Lynn Drive last Saturday, local police said.

Both were found lying in the roadway in the Forest West section of the township with serious injuries around 10 p.m., reports say. They were in and out of consciousness when authorities arrived, according to reports.

Hill and Ramirez have since been released from the hospital, police told Daily Voice.

The Byram fire and police departments, Lakeland EMS, Saint Clare’s paramedics and the NJSP Fatal Accident Investigation Unit responded. Atlantic Air 1 also reportedly flew one victim, reports say.

Complaints are pending. Anyone with information about this incident is asked to contact Det. Tierney of the Byram Township Police Department at 973-347-4008.
