Morristown, New Jersey Personal Injury Law Blog

A woman at a New Jersey car wash on Route 35 was badly injured in an accident on the afternoon of March 17, according to local sources. Police and rescue workers in Middletown responded to the accident that sent an employee of the car wash to the hospital with serious injuries. The driver involved in the accident has not yet been charged with an offense, but could face a personal injury lawsuit even if no criminal charges are filed. 

According to the limited information available in the report, a vehicle that had just been washed was leaving the wash bay to be dried when, for reasons unknown, it collided with a parked car. An unidentified female employee of the car wash somehow managed to become trapped between the moving vehicle and the parked vehicle, crushing her between the two cars. She suffered serious injuries, despite the moving car accelerating at a slow speed. 

Authorities believe that a 29-year-old man was under the influence of opiates while behind the wheel at the time of a serious crash on Route 23 that claimed three lives. Authorities in New Jersey arrested the man, who is now charged with aggravated manslaughter and death by auto, among other accusations. As with most fatal motor vehicle accidents, this incident is still under investigation, and more charges could be forthcoming. 

According to police, the man may have been overdosing on opiates around 8:46 a.m. the morning of Feb. 19 when he crashed his car into several vehicles parked at a gas station. The man is believed to have been traveling at a high rate of speed, as three vehicles were struck and badly damaged. A 50-year-old man and his 17-year-old son, both of whom were occupants of one of the involved vehicles, were killed in the impact. 

A serious accident involving a transit bus and three cars has sent 20 people to the hospital and one to the morgue, according to local sources. New Jersey authorities responded to the crash that took place the evening of Jan. 24. Motor vehicle accidents, especially those involving multiple vehicles and/or causing fatalities, are carefully investigated by police before charges are filed. 

According to the information provided in the report, a bus carrying over 24 passengers was headed east on Interstate 80 in Morris County when the accident occurred. For some reason, the bus collided with three other vehicles, causing massive damage. One of the passengers on the bus, a 21-year-old woman, was ejected from the vehicle by the force of the impacts, landing in oncoming traffic. She was pronounced dead on the scene by arriving medical personnel. 

A cop recently pulled you over on suspicion of drunk driving. You took a breathalyzer-and you failed. Now, you face criminal charges for DUI or DWI. You probably feel fear-stricken by the consequences that a conviction could have on your future. Fortunately, your case is not over yet: breathalyzer tests are not always accurate, and you still have a chance to avoid a conviction.
