STAFFORD TOWNSHIP, N.J. (AP) — Authorities say a southern New Jersey man was injured when he fell off the hood of a moving car being driven by his friend.

Stafford police say the accident occurred around 12:20 a.m. Sunday in the parking lot of a township restaurant.

Eighteen-year-old township resident Nicholas Price was treated at a hospital for a head injury, but further details on his condition were not disclosed.

It's not clear why Price jumped on the hood.

No charges have been filed so far, but an investigation is ongoing.
