Medford Township Police are investigating a motor vehicle crash that took place on Ark Road on Friday, Feb. 16. The single vehicle crash occurred at 9:02 a.m. and is believed to have been a direct result of a road rage incident that began in Mt. Laurel. The driver/victim appeared to have lost control of their vehicle, striking a tree. The driver/victim was ejected from the motor vehicle and air lifted to Cooper Trauma Center. Police are looking to identify the driver of a gray or silver four-door sedan. This driver is believed to be in his mid-50’s with gray hair and a short gray mustache. He briefly displaced a black baseball bat prior to the crash and left the scene prior to police arrival.

On Feb. 20 at 8:20 p.m., the Medford Township Police Department along with Medford Fire and EMS were dispatched to Branin Road by the curve for a report of a motor vehicle accident with reported injuries. Patrols arrived to find a 2008 Honda Accord had left the road and struck a utility pole. The vehicle was found to have been traveling north bound and lost control as it went around the bend. A 2017 Jeep Wrangler, that was behind the Honda, was struck by the falling utility pole. That driver was uninjured and the cause of the accident is under investigation. Medford EMS took refusals for all involved parties, who were then turned over to parents. Branin Road was closed for approximately 10 hours to allow for Public Service to respond and repair the wires and re-erect an utility pole.
