PHOTOS & VIDEO [UPDATED 12:25 AM] A vehicle overturned late Sunday evening on Route 88, taking out a pole and damaging about 6 vehicles from the Ford dealership in the process. The single car MVA occurred about 11:30 PM when the driver – who officials believe was drunk – reportedly speeding around the bend in the westbound lane and hit the pole in the opposite lane, cracking it in half, and hit several vehicles while the it flipped onto its roof.
EMS and Lakewood First Aid responded to the scene and managed to pull the driver out of the vehicle.
He was transported to an area Hospital with Paramedics.
Power is out to several homes in the area due to the downed wires.
Route 88 is closed between New Hampshire Avenue and Chambersbridge Avenue for the repairs, which is expected to last into rush hour Monday morning. TLS-CCP/TLS-50/TLS-62.
Where are you?a busy day keep up the great work
What a super way to begin “Put The Brakes On Fatalities Day!” Maybe he wanted to get all his aggressive driving out of his system before the big day!
wow two cars in one turn over in lakewood
i think the driver is a bit shshmortioned but he mite just be alitle teetaree but i hope heres a leson to b learnt here no………………
Drunk driving? What a liability, but lucky for him – at least he got out in one piece.
Confirmed. rt. 88 still closed as of 6:30 a.m.
isnt there some thing in the doctor/emt code about responding slower and giving less care to someone who has no concern for other peoples lives and puts his desire for alcohol ahead of everyone else? after all, that could have been 6 kids he plowed into instead of six parked cars?
or maybe, they vow to treat everyone equally?hmm
Believe me, we wish there was such a rule.
Innocent until proven guilty. EMS are not courts of law.
he was drunk and it was 7 cars damaged. the driver was out of the car uninjured. passanger hurt his shoulder.
I wonder if you want to go buy a car there if they will give you a deal on the damaged ones
Moose must really be upset
I hope this dope was insured otherwise it would be (moderated) court cost bill. PLEASE don’t drink and drive…
should have read the rules first. Please don’t drink and drive 7 ars can be fixed…seven lives???
I was the victim of a horrific drunk driving accident many years ago. I will never forget it, nor will I ever understand why people get behind the wheel inebriated. This irresponsible driver should at least have to pay the dealership for the damaged vehicles and the township for the repairs and cleanup, but all he will get is a small fine (compared to the couple hundred thousand dollars of damage he created) and a couple years suspended license. Let him spend the rest of his life paying off that debt, and see if he doesn’t think twice about getting behind the wheel like that.
