GALLOWAY TOWNSHIP, NJ - A township woman was injured in a three-car crash at the intersection of Jimmie Leeds Road and Nectar Avenue recently, police said.

Carmen Monroy, 61, was taken to AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center Mainland Campus for non life-threatening injuries in the May 18 accident, Sgt. Eric Hendrickson said.

Guido Monroy, 45, was stopped in the westbound lane of Jimmie Leeds Road waiting to turn south in a Dodge Ram pickup when he was struck from behind by a Ford F150 operated by Richard Peak III, 34, who was heading westbound on Jimmie Leeds Road.

The impact forced the Dodge Ram into the opposite lane of travel where it collided with a Ford Expedition operated by Stephanie Salmon, 21, who was traveling east on Jimmie Leeds Road.

The Galloway Township Ambulance Squad, with assistance from a TriCare ambulance, assisted at the accident scene.

Peak was issued a summons for careless driving, Hendrickson said.

The accident closed Jimmie Leeds Road, from Redwood Ave to Chris Gaupp Drive to through traffic for one hour, he said.
