4 Hurt In Herbertsville Road Crash: Brick Police

BRICK, NJ — Four people were injured Saturday afternoon, one of them seriously, in a two-vehicle crash on Herbertsville Road, Brick police said.

Police did not release names, ages or towns on any of the injured. A woman who was a passenger in a red 2013 Chrysler 200 suffered the most serious injuries in the crash that happened on Herbertsville Road between Sally Ike Road and Thiele Road shortly after 2 p.m. Saturday.

The woman was taken to Jersey Shore University Medical Center, Neptune. The driver of the Chrysler suffered injuries to her chest, foot and knee and was taken to Jersey Shore as well, police said.

The other vehicle was a white 2015 Ford Explorer. The male driver had pain in his chest, and his female passenger had chest, side and back pain. Both were taken to Hackensack Meridian Ocean Medical Center in Brick for treatment, police said.

Police said the crash happened when the Chrysler, which was southbound on Herbertsville Road, turned left into the path of the Explorer, which was northbound. The Chrysler was turning into a driveway on Herbertsville Road but police said the Explorer had the right-of-way. Police said inattentive driving contributed to the crash.

Brick Township Police EMS, MONOC paramedics and Lakewood EMS responded.
