Officer: A. Capelli

Driver #1: Mary Egbeh 43 of the 2000 block of Indian Drive

Driver #2: Donald Jones 48 of the 200 block of Summit Street

On this date, January 28, 2016, I was dispatched to the area of Philip Street and North Main Road, in regards to a motor vehicle crash.  I arrived on scene and observed both vehicles pulled to the west side of Main Road, south of Philip Street facing south bound.

As I parked my Patrol vehicle behind the two vehicles, with my emergency lights activated, I was approached by driver #2 and he related the following information.  Driver #2 indicated he was traveling north on Main Road and has he passed Philip Street, he observed vehicle #1 coming off of Philip Street. Driver #2 indicated he initially he thought vehicle #1 did a "rolling stop" and struck his vehicle.  Driver #2 indicated when he observed vehicle #1 coming towards his vehicle, he swerved to the left to avoid the crash, but it wasn't avoidable.

Driver #2 stated after the crash, he turned around to return to the scene, and thought that vehicle #1 was possibly leaving the area, since she pulled out onto Main Road facing south.  Driver #2 indicated soon after the crash occurred, he took photographs of vehicle #1's ice (frost) covered windows. When I first observed vehicle #1, the rear windows were frosted, but the windshield was clear and the side windows were defrosting.  It is unknown if driver #1's vision was obstructed by the partially frosted windows.

I then spoke with driver #1 who indicated she was stopped on Philip Street waiting to enter Main Road, when vehicle #2 may have slid on the ice towards her vehicle and struck her car in the front.
 
It should be noted:  Where Philip Street meets Main Road, there was ice from when the snow in the area melted and then refroze overnight. The lane of travel on Main Road was complete dry, and the ice on Philip Street extended from the edge of Main Road to approximately 8-10 feet east down Philip Street, which would make an approaching vehicle on Philip Street have difficulty stopping.  

Driver #1 was adamant that she was stopped on Philip Street and vehicle #2 slid into her vehicle.  Driver #2 was adamant that he was traveling on Main Road, in his lane of travel when vehicle #1 struck his vehicle.  

No injuries were reported and Vineland EMS was not needed on scene. 

Vehicle #1 sustained minor damage to the front bumper on the left (passenger) side of the front license plate.  Vehicle #2 sustained minor damage to the passenger rear door in the area of the back wheel.  Both vehicles were able to be driven from the scene, even though they both sustained minor damage.  Based on the location of the damage on both vehicles, it is this Officer's belief, that vehicle #1 entered the roadway of Main Road and came into contact with vehicle #2. 

Driver #1 was issued summons # 0614-VC-8860 for careless driving and was given a Court date set for February 16, 2016 at the Vineland Municipal Court.  A subpoena was generated for driver #2, to appear in Court to testify on behalf of the State, in the event driver #1 contests the summons issued against her.

Vehicle #2 is registered to the State of New Jersey, under the Department of Treasury. Vehicle #2 is self-insured through the State of New Jersey through the Division of Risk Management, PO Box 620, Trenton, N.J. 08625
