Car Crash Knocks Down Antique Clock In Downtown Red Bank

RED BANK, NJ — A driver crashed into an antique clock in Red Bank on Wednesday morning, knocking it down and damaging it, according to the Red Bank Police Department.

The crash caused minor to moderate damage to the clock but did not completely destroy it, said Chief of Police Darren McConnel.

The clock belongs to the building owner of 36 Broad Street, where it is located, not the borough.

The driver was issued a summons for careless driving, McConnel said.

The owner Mike Morgan told Redbankgreen that the clock would be restored and that in the meantime it would be stored by the borough public works department.

The clock was erected in 1902, according to the publication.
