Sgt. Lonnie Mergler said he wasn't sure of the extent of Holmes' injuries but that they must have been serious because the Bergen County traffic accident investigator was on scene.
Holmes, who was not wearing a helmet and did not have a motorcycle endorsement for his license, was issued summonses for not wearing a helmet, being an unlicensed driver, failure to maintain control of the motorcycle and reckless driving, Mergler said. He said it hasn't been determined if alcohol played a role in the accident.
