Howell Man Suffers Minor Injuries In Two-Vehicle Crash In Manchester

Seatbelt usage prevented any serious injuries during a two-car crash at the intersection of Routes 547 and 571 in Manchester on Monday afternoon, Manchester police said.

James Satterlee, 29, of Howell was southbound on Route 547 about 5 p.m. in a black 2011 Jeep Wrangler when Ingyu Ryu, 47, of Princeton Junction, attempted to turn left onto Route 571 west in a white 2013 Lexus GS sport utility vehicle and collided with the Jeep, Capt. Todd Malland said.

The impact caused the Jeep to overturn and it came to rest on its passenger side in the southbound lanes of Route 547, Malland said.

Satterlee, who was properly restrained, suffered minor cuts to his face and refused medical attention, he said. Ryu, the driver of the Lexus, also was properly restrained and was uninjured, Malland said.

Assisting at the scene were members of the Ridgeway Volunteer Fire Department and the Manchester Volunteer First Aid Squad as well as paramedics from MONOC. The crash remains under investigation by Patrolman Ian Bole from the Manchester Township Traffic Safety Section, Malland said.
