Washington Township, NJ (September 25, 2026) – At least one person suffered minor injuries after a wreck at the intersection of Route 31 southbound and Rymon Road.
Washington Township Police and fire crews were on the scene around 11 a.m. to assist those involved and manage the traffic in the area.
The full scope of the injuries sustained has not been clarified.
The circumstances surrounding the wreck remain under review by authorities.
We are thinking of those hurt as they recover.
New Jersey follows a modified comparative negligence rule, in which a driver can recover damages as long as they are not found more than 50 percent at fault for a crash. If a driver is found 51 percent or more responsible, state law bars them from recovering any compensation, even for injuries caused partly by another driver.
Determining fault at an intersection typically comes down to specific details, such as which driver had the right of way, whether a signal was functioning, and how each vehicle approached the intersection. Statements taken at the scene, along with any available photos or video, can shape how a fault percentage is eventually assigned.
Insurance adjusters usually make an initial fault determination shortly after a crash, but that determination is not always final or binding. Adjusters typically rely on police reports, statements from those involved, and any available photos.
It is common that insurers initially assign a fault percentage that does not fully reflect what happened. Disputing an initial fault finding usually requires additional evidence beyond what an adjuster first reviewed.
