The vehicle involved in the Cumberland County NJ car accident was a Ford Windstar minivan.

wow, if it was helicopter, it hard to have been very very serious injuries,…… i wonder what caused the accident,…as we know from a nj supreme court decision just in 2008, brought by a pro se litigant, that a one car accident is not always the fault of the driver. Thewy probably should have went the extra distance and transported them to baltimore, to the nations leadinbg trauma hospital, the r cowley trauma center at the university of baltimore, ….. that place is like a mash unit, huge floor dealing with doxzens of gunshot wounds every night….thats when they helicopted my mom 2, a 4 hour car ride, ,… its lewss then 4 hour car ride from that section of rt 55 to the trauma center, .. i wonder why they didnt take the injured to the best tauma hospital within reasonable distance?
im sorry, its the university of maryland, in baltimore,
