Two People Injured in 4-Car Accident on White Horse Pike in Galloway

Two people were injured in a four-car accident that left the White Horse Pike at Fir Avenue closed for an hour and a half on Tuesday, Galloway Police said.

Richard S. Jones, 77, of Galloway, and Luis Santiago Jr., 26, of Trenton, were both hospitalized in AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center City Division with unspecified injuries. Their respective conditions were not available.

Police say 73-year-old Camile F. Rohm, of Brigantine, was driving a 2013 Honda CRV west when she changed lanes and rear-ended a vehicle that was stopped, sending it into oncoming traffic. When this happened, a car traveling in the other direction swerved to avoid a head-on collision, and sideswiped another vehicle.

Rohm was issued a summons for an unsafe lane change.

Galloway Township Ambulance Squad, AtlantiCare Medics, Pomona Volunteer Fire Company, New Jersey Department of Transportation and Denny’s Towing all responded to the scene.

Traffic was detoured off the White Horse Pike at Fir Ave (west bound) and Chris Gaupp Drive (east bound).
