Teen Charged With Careless Driving After Route 34 Crash In Wall: Police

WALL, NJ -- A Hillsborough teen has been charged with careless driving after he sideswiped a Jeep and caused his own car to overturn on Route 34 on Sunday, Wall police said.

Brett J. Magliaro, 18, of Hillsborough, was driving a 2012 Honda Civic north in the right lane on Route 34 on Sunday afternoon, Wall Lt. Greg Carpino said. Magliaro was behind a 2008 Jeep Liberty driven by a 23-year-old Marlboro woman when traffic slowed, Carpino said.

Magliaro, who Carpino said was following the Jeep Liberty too closely, sideswiped the Jeep and lost control of the Honda, which overturned onto its roof in the left lane of Route 34 near Belmar Boulevard.

No injuries were reported as a result of the crash, Carpino said, but traffic was limited to one lane on Route 34 northbound for about 45 minutes, he said.

South Wall Fire Department responded to assist.
