One Hurt As Two-Vehicle Crash Causes Jeep To Flip In Berkeley

BERKELEY, NJ — One person was injured Tuesday morning in a collision at Dover Road and Pinewald-Keswick Road that caused a Jeep to roll over, Berkeley Township's police chief said.

Police Chief Karin DiMichele said the crash, which happened shortly before 8 a.m., happened when a 2009 Mercury Milan that was driving east on Pinewald-Keswick Road tried to make a left turn onto Dover Road. As the Mercury made the turn, it crossed into the path of a 2008 Jeep Wrangler that was headed west on Pinewald-Keswick Road.

The Mercury hit the Jeep's driver's side and caused it to slide and roll over. It hit a sign and a guide wire before coming to rest on its roof in the road.

The Jeep's driver, who was not identified, suffered a moderate injury, DiMichele said.

Traffic was delayed in both directions and both vehicles had to be towed from the scene, she said.

The crash remains under investigation and anyone with information about it is asked to call the Traffic Safety Division at 732-341-1132, ext. 2125.
