BRIDGEWATER, NJ — Two drivers are injured following a head-on crash in Bridgewater on Wednesday.
At around 10:18 a.m., Bridgewater and Bound Brook Police went to Mountain Avenue near Route 22 East, where they found a 2007 Honda Pilot and a 2023 Kia Telluride disabled in the northbound lane, said Officer Tyler Ossenfort.
The Honda was being driven by a 43-year-old man from Newark and the Kia was being driven by a 19-year-old woman from South Bound Brook.

The crash remains under investigation by the Bridgewater Township Police Department Traffic Safety Unit.
