BRICK, NJ -- Four people were injured early Friday morning in a crash at Route 70 and Chambersbridge Road, Brick police said.

Israel Shaliehsaboo, 19, of Lakewood, and his passengers, Samuel Peres, 20, and Yehud Morgenstern, 20, both of Lakewood, were taken to Jersey Shore University Medical Center, Neptune, for treatment, Sgt.

The driver of the other car, Brianna Hollingsworth, 20, of Manchester, was taken to Ocean Medical Center, Brick for treatment of minor injuries, he said.

The crash, which happened about 1 a.m., occurred when Hollingsworth, who was northbound on Chambersbridge Road in a silver Dodge Durango, ran a red light at the intersection and hit the black 2014 Nissan Altima driven by Shaliehsaboo, who was westbound on Route 70, Pedersen said.
