COLD SPRING – A four-vehicle accident sent four people to the hospital April 19, after their cars were left mangled and smashed, when an SUV failed to stop, rear-ending a car stopped for a light, sending it careening forward into the cars in front of it. The vehicle also bounced off the road, hit a fence and came to rest in the middle of the intersection.
The incident occurred around 3:42 p.m. at the intersection of Seashore Road and Lincoln Boulevard, police said. Town Bank Fire Company, who assisted on the scene, said in a Facebook post that two occupants had to be extricated from their vehicles.
In a press release, Lower Township Police Department said the driver of a black Toyota 4-Runner, traveling north on Seashore Road, failed to yield to the flow of traffic, striking another vehicle, which created a domino effect involving two more vehicles.
All four involved cars were disabled and towed away from the scene, police said.
The driver of the Toyota 4-runner that caused the crash was unsure of what had happened. Inspira Rescue Personnel advised that the individual appeared to have had a diabetic emergency.

The incident closed the bridge out of West Cape May for about an hour that afternoon. The investigation was conducted by Officer Austin Parker.
West Cape May – The amount of TV shows airing is getting out of hand. Less movies are being produced today than ever before. Instead, people are glued to watching shows that most people never heard of.
