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 drivers of the back two vehicles were transported to the hospital. Both were released within 24 hours of the accident.
The incident closed the bridge out of West Cape May for about an hour that afternoon. The investigation was conducted by Officer Austin Parker.
Lower Township – Who are these people that are obvious experts on trash cans and leaf pick-up? Maybe they don't have any trash to put out or leaves in their yard!!
