High-Speed Chase Ends In Crash On Route 130: Police

A Trenton man attempted to flee police in Burlington County on New Year’s Eve, but the high-speed chase ended when he crashed into a concrete divider on Route 130, police said.

Akeem Valentine-Adebayo, 24, was hospitalized when his Hyundai Sonata struck a center divider at the intersection of Route 130 and Rising Sun Road in Bordentown Monday night, police said. He hit the barricade while fleeing an attempted traffic stop at about 8:12 p.m. on Dec. 31, according to Bordentown Township police.

A high-speed chase ensued, but ended when he lost control of his car, went airborne and struck the barrier, police said. After hitting the barrier, the car began to flip and hit a utility pole and a mailbox before it came to a stop on the side of the road, according to police.

Valentine-Adebayo then climbed through the car’s sunroof, and was then tended to by police officers. He was taken to Helene Fuld Hospital for further treatment, police said. Police anticipate that he will be charged with criminal and motor vehicle offenses.

Route 130 south was closed for several hours after the accident for the police department’s investigation and debris cleanup. Several vehicles that were traveling south on Route 130 sustained damage to their undercarriage after driving over concrete sections of the median immediately following the crash, police said.

Anyone with information concerning this accident is asked to contact Sgt. Nucera of the Bordentown Police Department’s Traffic Safety Bureau at 609-298-4300, ext. 2135.
