BERKELEY – A two vehicle crash that sent a car upside down on a busy road is under investigation, according to police.
Berkeley Township Police were called to the scene on January 25 around 11:18 a.m. outside the TD Bank on Route 9 for a report of a two vehicle motor vehicle accident with injuries. At the time of the crash, it was raining which caused the ground to be wet and slippery.
