HOLMDEL, NJ - An intoxicated driver was reportedly behind two separate hit-and-run incidents in the Bayshore area, authorities said.

In an early morning Facebook post on Wednesday, Holmdel police noted that the first incident, which occurred in Hazlet near the Holmdel border, was reported around 9:48 p.m. on April 27. Patrols located the suspect vehicle - which was operating on three wheels - on Holmdel Road near Rt. 520.
