Serious Motor Vehicle Crash On January 24th Injures Three

Police are continuing to investigate a motor vehicle crash that occurred on January 24th shortly after 6:50am on Route 1 southbound just prior to New Road.

A 2009 Ford, being operated by a 54 year old man from North Brunswick working as an Uber driver, was travelling in the left lane of southbound Route 1 and was approaching New Road, when the driver abruptly changed lanes, striking a 2001 Mack dump truck stopped in traffic, being operated by a 52 year old man from South Brunswick. 

The crash left the driver of the Ford in critical condition with serious injuries. His passenger, a 64 year old woman from Franklin Park who had been sitting in the back seat, suffered significant injuries. The driver of the dump truck suffered minor injuries. The occupants of the Ford were transported to Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital by ambulance. 

Due to the severity of the crash, Route 1 southbound was closed for several hours, causing significant traffic congestion in the area.

Anyone with information on the crash is asked to contact PFC Jesse Blake of the South Brunswick Police Department's Traffic Bureau at (732)329-4000 x7474.
