At 5:20 p.m. on Thursday, police responded to the intersection of State Highway 70 and Morningstar Road following reports of a serious crash requiring extrication.

Once officers arrived at the scene, emergency personnel discovered a multi-vehicle crash with one person unresponsive.

According to Nash, a 58-year-old woman from Brick, NJ, was extricated from her vehicle after she was found in an unresponsive state.

A second driver, identified as a 51-year-old woman from Brick, NJ, was treated for injuries to her face, head, and wrist, Nash said.
