Multiple Accidents Reported on Wet Lawrence Roads

With roads slick from the rain that fell for much of the day, multiple traffic accidents were reported in Lawrence Township today (Tuesday, March 12), according to police and emergency officials.

Among these accidents was the one-car crash shown in the photographs displayed above. It occurred on Interstate 295 in the area of Exit 67 (Route 1).

Dispatched about 12:45 p.m., Lawrence Township emergency medical personnel and firefighters arrived to find that the car had slammed into a guardrail in the highway’s grassy center median.

The rear of the car and part of the guardrail were mangled, but the car’s female driver was not seriously hurt, officials said. Nevertheless, she was transported to a local hospital by ambulance to be treated for her injuries.

Several other accidents were reported along the Trenton Freeway (Route 1)  this afternoon, officials said.
