Our Family Has Given A Voice To The Injured For Over 50 Combined Years
A man was seriously injured after crashing into the rear of a box truck in West Windsor Sunday. West Windsor Police say the crash occurred in the early morning hours on Route 1 near the Meadow Road overpass. The injured man was driving southbound in a Toyota sedan when he crashed into the truck. The force of impact caused the truck to tip over and land on its side, police said.
The Toyota driver, a 25-year-old Somerset man, was transported to a local hospital with serious but non-life-threatening head injuries. He was listed in stable condition Sunday afternoon. The box truck driver, a 43-year-old Pennsauken man, suffered only minor injuries and remained at the scene.
All lanes of Route 1 were shut down for approximately four hours while police investigated and cleared the scene.
