Toms River, NJ (May 30, 2025) – An early evening crash disrupted traffic along a busy stretch of Route 37 in Toms River on Thursday and left at least one person injured.
At around 5:50 p.m. on May 29, local authorities and emergency medical teams responded to a motor vehicle accident on Route 37 West at the intersection with Ceaderwood Dr. Initial reports indicate that the crash involved at least two vehicles, and caused significant traffic delays in the area.
Police arrived on the scene shortly after receiving reports of the incident. At least one individual sustained injuries and required medical attention. Emergency responders treated the victim on-site before transporting them to a nearby hospital for further evaluation and care.
Though the extent of the injuries has not yet been confirmed, officials say the crash remains under active investigation. Law enforcement officers closed off portions of the roadway to clear debris and conduct an initial review of the scene. Commuters were advised to seek alternate routes as delays were expected well into the evening.

We hope those injured in this accident recover quickly.
Car Accidents in New Jersey
New Jersey roadways witness thousands of accidents each year, with over 278,000 crashes recorded in 2022 alone. High-traffic corridors like Route 37 often see frequent collisions due to congestion and fast-moving vehicles. Staying informed about road safety and your rights after a crash is essential.
To better understand how accidents impact victims, it’s helpful to consider the range of medical care often required after a crash:
- Emergency Room Visits: Victims are often rushed to the ER for initial assessments. These visits help stabilize patients and identify urgent injuries.
- Diagnostic Imaging: X-rays, CT scans, and MRIs are commonly used to detect internal injuries, fractures, or head trauma after an accident.
- Physical Therapy: Recovery from whiplash, broken bones, or soft tissue injuries often includes weeks or months of physical therapy to restore strength and mobility.
- Surgical Intervention: In more serious cases, surgery may be needed to repair internal damage, fractures, or spinal injuries.
- Psychological Support: The emotional toll of a crash can linger long after physical wounds heal. Many victims benefit from counseling or therapy during their recovery.
