A Holmdel resident has survived an accident on Monday after veering off of Holmdel Road and driving in to the woods.

Holmdel Police Lt. Michael Smith reported that a call was received at headquarters at approximately 4:00 p.m. of a vehicle that had veered off of Holmdel Road and in to the trees.

Patrol Officer Foley was the first to respond at the scene, where he found Robert McQuade, age unknown at this time, in his vehicle approximately 200 feet off the road near 947 Holmdel Road.
