7 Injured As Minivan Crashes On I-195 In Monmouth County

UPPER FREEHOLD TOWNSHIP, NJ — Seven people were injured Sunday when a Toyota Sienna crashed on Interstate 195 in Upper Freehold Township, New Jersey State Police said Monday.

Chaim Nussbaum, 42, of Lakewood, was seriously injured in the crash that was reported at 3:06 p.m. when he lost control of the Toyota in the area of milepost 13, Sgt. Jeffrey Lebron said.

The Toyota veered off the road to the left, then came back into the road and ran off the right side of the road and rolled over, then re-entered the road again and ran off into the grass median, Lebron said.

Nussbaum had six passengers — an adult and five children — and they all suffered minor injuries, he said. All seven were taken to a local hospital for treatment, Lebron said.

The crash snarled traffic for more than a mile westbound on I-195 lanes and caused rubbernecking delays on the eastbound lanes.

The crash remains under investigation.
