Firefighters had to cut through a damaged sport utility vehicle Friday afternoon to free the driver after the SUV she was driving and a car were involved in a crash in East Windsor, a fire official said.
The crash at Route 33 and Twin Rivers Drive in East Windsor happened around 11:30 a.m. and it took firefighters about 20 minutes to get the woman, identified as Linda Prince, 66, of Aventura, Fla., out of the SUV, said East Windsor Volunteer Fire Company #2 Chief Barry Rashkin and East Windsor police. She was transported to CentraState Medical Center in Freehold for minor injuries.
Prince was driving south on Twin Rivers Drive North, going across Route 33, when her SUV collided with a car traveling west on Route 33, police said. The driver of the car, Oleg Ponomarev, 57, of Englishtown, was not injured.
The scene was cleared, and all lanes were reopened around 12: 10 p.m. The crash is under investigation and no charges have been filed.
Fire companies from East Windsor, Hightstown and Monroe responded to the scene.

Amazing how fast they can post this stuff. Also thinking maybe cell phone involved again.

This is starting to get a little out of hand with all these accidents on Rt33. There was one by the HESS, another one at the same intersection with a wrong way driver, and now this...Not sure if its the construction down the road or just more inattentive drivers.

I still see many drivers on the road using cell phones. Another dangerous intersection is Rt130 and Hickory Corner Road, people are still making a left turn onto RT 130 South . They should continue straight on RT 33. That left turn was taking away many years ago.

Part of the problem w/ that situation is that there is no sign saying that it is not allowed. It may actually be legal to do so. I agree that it is confusing and could cause an accident.
Another unwelcome adventure in that area is the gap in the median near Windsor Nissan utilized by employees of Diversified Shelving to u-turn onto 130 South and by future organ donors turning to and from Maple Stream Rd.

Keep up the good work Ashley Peskoe. I cancelled my paper and switched to patch last year and don't regret it. This is the future. Anyway it is amazing how many accidents are taking place everywhere. I'm sure cell phones are the #1 reason. I am going to put on my seat belt and turn off my cell phone starting today. I've had some close calls.
