ERMA — A victim of a motor vehicle accident that occurred on Wednesday July 22 at approximately 11 a.m., in the area of Route 47 near the George Redding Bridge in Lower Township, had been transported for head injuries sustained during the crash when her vehicle flipped over after side swiping another vehicle, according to the Lower Township Police Department.
The victim was being treated at the Atlantic City Medical Center City Division where she had been taken by ambulance after the accident.
