Oxford, NJ (December 19, 2024) – A severe two-vehicle crash involving a rollover and a head-on collision occurred Thursday evening at the intersection of Rt. 31 and Wall St. Emergency crews responded swiftly to the scene at approximately 6:35 p.m., where one individual was reported trapped in their vehicle, while another was found on the ground nearby.
A medevac helicopter was initially ordered to assist due to the severity of the injuries, but adverse weather conditions forced the flight to be canceled. Despite this setback, first responders worked efficiently to extricate the entrapped victim and stabilize the injured parties. Ultimately, three individuals were transported by ground ambulance to a nearby trauma center for treatment.
Local authorities have launched an investigation into the circumstances leading to the crash, and the intersection remained partially closed for cleanup and further assessment. The names and current conditions of the injured parties have not yet been disclosed.
