LAKEHURST – A crash caused an SUV to flip over but bystanders helped the two people inside, officials said.
The crash took place around 6:30 p.m. on March 18. The driver was heading west on Route 70 when the incident happened.
When the call came in to the dispatcher, it was for a flipped car with someone possibly trapped inside. Officials said that when they arrived at the scene, bystanders had already rolled the SUV to an upright position and assisted the passenger and driver out of the car.
The Lakehurst Fire Department responded to the scene, as did Joint Base 67’s rescue, as well as the State Department of Transportation and fire police units from stations 33 and 34 to assist with traffic.
As a result, Route 70 westbound was closed down for about three hours to allow for cleanup. The Lakehurst Fire Department thanked all who assisted at the scene.
