Police: Woman Injured in Milford Road Head-On Car Crash

A car hit a van in a near head on collision on Milford Road Tuesday morning, according to East Windsor police. 

Shortly after 8 a.m., a 2004 Dodge Neon was traveling north on Milford Road near Etra Lake when it veered into the southbound lane while negotiating a curve in the road, police said. As the car, driven by Bordentown resident Sara Lee, 28, crossed into the southbound lane it struck a 2009 Ford van that was driving south. 

The van, a Children’s Center of Monmouth County transport vehicle, was being driven by Carol Picerno, 43, of Lakewood. The van contained two passengers who were identified as Celestine Shoates, 54, of Neptune, and Khary Wilson, 27, of East Windsor. After the accident, Shoates complained of leg pain and was transported to CentraState Medical Center by ambulance. 

East Windsor police and a Capital Health EMS responded to the scene of the accident.  Both vehicles suffered damage beyond repair and were towed from away, according to police. Lee was charged with careless driving.
