A serious accident involving two vehicles and a garbage truck occurred in Old Bridge on Friday, September 23. A Honda Accord driven by Janelle Williams, 30, of Old Bridge, was struck by a garbage truck that swerved while attempting to avoid a Subaru Forester, which was making a U-turn.

Williams and her seven-year-old son were badly injured, and were taken to Robert Wood University Hospital. Williams, who sustained several broken bones, facial wounds, and internal injuries, was listed in critical condition. Her son, who also sustained broken bones and facial injuries, was listed in serious condition. The driver of the Subaru, Michael Kucsak, 68, of Carteret, suffered a brain injury and was listed in serious condition. The driver of the garbage truck was not injured.

We send our most sincere wishes to all those injured in this accident, and hope they make quick and complete recoveries.

While the investigation of this accident is still pending and we don’t know enough details to determine who was at fault, serious accidents such as this one serve as a reminder to drive safely, and to observe the rules of the road. Obey traffic signs and lights, comply with road signs, and do not make illegal turns. Failure to obey the rules of the road can result in serious injury to yourself, to your passengers, and to other drivers.

Even if you drive safely, there’s no guarantee that others who share the road will do the same. If you or someone you love has recently been injured in an automobile accident, and you believe someone else is responsible for your injuries, contact a car accident attorney New Jersey to discuss your legal options.
