BRICK, NJ — Two Brick Township men were injured Thursday morning in a crash that shut down Lanes Mill Road for more than an hour, police said.

Brick Township police patrol and EMS units responded along with MONOC paramedics and treated the men at the scene.

Traffic on Lanes Mill Road northbound was detoured around the crash scene for about an hour while the Brick Police Traffic Safety Unit investigated, he said.
