NORTH CAPE MAY – Lower Township Police Department is investigating the cause of a single-car crash that required the driver to be extricated before transport to the hospital.
Lower Township police officers were dispatched, June 13, at about 11:35 a.m., to the scene of the crash that occurred just north of the intersection of Breakwater and Bayshore roads.
Police said a Ford Focus was traveling northbound on Bayshore Road when it crossed the oncoming southbound lane and struck a tree before rolling on its side. The cause of the crash is under investigation.    
A multi-agency response was activated with assistance from Villas and Erma fire departments, Inspira medical personnel (basic life support), and AtlantiCare medical personnel (advanced life support).
At the crash scene, police found a white 2016 Ford Focus Hatchback with severe front-end damage resting on its passenger side on the front lawn of a residence on Bayshore Road. After being extricated, the driver and the lone passenger were transported by ambulance for injuries they sustained.   
Additional Lower Township police officers and fire personnel on the scene assisted in directing traffic as the intersection was temporarily closed. The vehicle was towed from the scene. The crash is being investigated by Patrol Officer Adam Hegarty.
