A person was seriously injured this evening in Lakewood after a serious accident left the vehicle wrapped around a tree.
The single-vehicle accident occured in the area of Hope Chapel Road and Shonny Court, near the border with Jackson, just after 9:30pm.
Emergency personnel extricated one patient from the heavily-damaged vehicle.
Information on the extent of injuries was not immediately available.
Police are investigating.
Everyone should be well!!! I always think to myself that such accidents can happen when a driver is going full speed but trying to avoid a car, pedestrian or bicyclist that went Into the roadway without looking and they just continue on as if they did no wrong.
As they should because they have the right of way! You most try to be a Defensive Driver ! I will add that driving below the posted speed limit helps to! It’s better to be safe than sorry is great advice to heed in a area like Ocean County!
Ocean County has lousy drivers
Probably lousy bicyclists, too.
Hmmm sounds like another dangerous lakewood intersection. It was less then a week ago a gentleman lost his life at that same location on his motorcycle.
