Howell Police Urge People To Stay Off The Roads

HOWELL, NJ — Howell Township police had a stern warning for motorists Wednesday afternoon: "Stay off the roads if you don't need to be out."

The warning came as police shared video of officers responding to a crash on Fort Plains Road where the driver lost control of his vehicle, which went off the road, hit a tree and got wedged between the tree and a utility pole.

The driver was not injured, police said.

"Even though the roads may look drivable, they are still slick from ice and slush. Slow down and take your time but stay off the roads if you don’t need to be out!!"
