Woodbridge Teen Girl Seriously Injured In Parkway Crash Wednesday

WOODBRIDGE, NJ — A 17-year-old Fords girl was seriously injured in a five-car accident on the Garden State Parkway Wednesday, according to NJ State Police.

She was airlifted to a hospital, but her medical status remains unknown Thursday morning. She was last listed Wednesday night in serious condition, said State Police.

The crash happened at 2:25 p.m. Wednesday and occurred at milepost 131.1, which is in Woodbridge Township.

The teen girl was driving a Nissan Frontier pick-up truck on the Parkway when she was sideswiped by a Jeep Wrangler, said State Police.

This caused her pick-up to overturn and strike three more cars, a Toyota, an Infiniti and a Ford.

The teen Woodbridge girl sustained serious injuries due to the crash and was transported via helicopter to an area hospital. Other media outlets reported she was unconscious and pinned her in her pick-up. She was only identified as a female juvenile, 17, of Fords.

No other drivers were injured in the crash. It also remains unclear what made the Jeep Wrangler initially sideswipe her or how fast any of the drivers were going. No summonses or charges have yet been issued by State Police and the crash remains under investigation.
