Car Collides With Morristown Medical Center Parking Deck (Photos)

MORRISTOWN, NJ - A 65-year-old Parsippany man drove his SUV into a parking deck at Morristown Medical Center on Monday, according to officials. The driver was stuck inside the vehicle which was hanging partially over the wall of the parking deck.

Police discovered that a 2017 Cadillac SUV had left the roadway, traveled down a short grass embankment, and crashed through a fence into the parking deck, the Morristown Department of Public Safety said.

Emergency Medical Technicians from Atlantic Health began to administer first aid while firefighters from Morristown and Morris Township worked to stabilize the car, police said.

The driver was removed from the car and transported to the Emergency Department for evaluation of minor injuries and the car was towed from the scene. Police noted that minor damage was also sustained to several other parked cars located inside the deck.

Officer Brian McDonnell of the Traffic Safety Unit said it appears as though the driver suffered a medical emergency which caused the vehicle to leave the roadway.

Police noted that the investigation is ongoing.
