MIDDLETOWN, NJ — A woman was not seriously injured when she crashed her car Thursday night at the ShopRite plaza on Highway 35 in Middletown. She drove into a support pole holding up the shopping complex, EMS workers at the scene said. They said it seemed like distracted driving may have played a role.
