Five people were hospitalized following an early-morning wrong-way head-on collision in Lakewood, TLS has learned.
The two-vehicle accident happened around 4:00 AM when a vehicle carrying four people turned into the wrong direction of Route 70, colliding into one other vehicle occupied by a single driver.
All passengers sustained significant injuries and were transported to JSUMC with paramedics.
Earlier this month, a wrong-way driver on Route 70 caused an eight-vehicle accident.
Names for Tehillim will be published if they become available.
An investigation is underway.

Thank you hatzalah BLS and ALS for responding at 4am
Praying for their recovery!
Please tell us next time like you usually do that Tefillos are needed…
Maybe the signs for 70 are confusing to people not knowing the roads and should be fixed up.
Changing signage will not stop inattentive driving.
A speedy recovery to those injured.
Is there a signage issue on the 70 that there are so many ‘wrong way’ collisions?
Horrible !!!!!!!!!!!!
People from NY often get confused on the roads in NJ. They sometimes don’t get the jughandle turns, or the concrete medians. Driving at 4pm can also be challenging!
