The initiral investigation revealed the following:  Vehicle # 1 was traveling north on Old Trenton Rd. approaching the intersection of Colt Circle while Vehicles 2, 3 and 5 were all stopped in traffic.   Driver # 1 did not realize traffic was stopped until the last moment and impacted the rear passenger side of Vehicle #2.  Vehicle # 1 then made contact with the rear of Vehicle # 3 forcing that vehicle into the south bound lane of travel where it sideswiped Vehicle # 4.  Vehicle # 1 continued forward and made slight contact with Vehicle # 5 before coming to a final rest.
