TOMS RIVER: Earlier tonight OCSN received reports of a serious motor vehicle accident on NJ 37. The crash occurred on NJ 37 @ Washington; and involved two or three vehicles.

Injuries were reported, and it sounds like four patients in total needed medical treatment. Radio traffic indicates two went via ground ambulance to Community Medical Center; and two others went via ground to Jersey Shore University Medical Center.

We do not have any official confirmation of charges due to TRPD’s excessive radio encryption- but one party was arrested for suspicion of DWI/DUI. Our OCSN staff photographer on scene noted the suspect pictured failed a field sobriety test, and empty liquor bottles were scattered about the crash scene.
