Trapped Somerset Driver Rescued As Firefighters Pry Open Door In Crash

MONTGOMERY, NJ — Montgomery Firefighters pried open a car door to rescue a trapped driver in a Monday morning crash.

On Jan. 31 at 9:58 a.m., a two-vehicle crash with injuries was reported in the area of River Road (County Route 533) south of Staats Farm Road, said Montgomery Police Lt. Silvio Bet.

Daniel Magrini, 50, of Hillsborough, was driving a 2018 Chevy Silverado north on River Road when a 2012 Nissan driven by Hawa Nabieu, 37, of Somerset, backed out of a private driveway into the roadway, said Bet.
