HAMILTON, NJ (MERCER)–A multi-vehicle collision left one of the vehicles on its side and sent at least one person to a hospital Saturday morning (June 29, 2004).
The crash on Johnston Avenue at Tipton Street occurred shortly before 11:20 a.m. Multiple 911 calls were received by both Hamilton and Lawrence police. At first it was unclear which municipality the accident was in, so Lawrence police hurriedly started checking both Johnson Avenue and Johnson Road in their town before Hamilton’s emergency services arrived on Johnston Avenue and confirmed it was in Hamilton.
Hamilton firefighters reported that no one was trapped in the overturned vehicle. One person was, however, reported to have suffered serious injuries and required the services of paramedics. That person was transported by ambulance to hospital. There was also a report of a second person with minor injuries but it was unclear if that person was also taken to hospital.
Hamilton police were on scene investigating the crash and blocking Johnston Avenue until the wrecked vehicles were removed by tow trucks.
