Kenilworth, NJ (November 8, 2026) – One person was taken to a hospital after two cars collided on the Garden State Parkway in Kenilworth on Sunday evening, November 8.
Kenilworth Fire and emergency units were dispatched to the scene at around 7 p.m.
Emergency units cleared the scene later that evening. The full extent of the injury has not been disclosed.
The cause of the accident is still being reviewed.
We are hoping for a quick and full recovery for the patient.
After a crash, it is important to save photos of the vehicles, the roadway, and your injuries, along with the names and phone numbers of any witnesses, the police report number, and every medical record and bill.
It is also advisable to keep the damaged vehicle available for inspection until its damage and stored data are documented and to copy any dashcam video before it is overwritten.
Evidence fades quickly on a busy highway. Skid marks wash away, debris gets swept up, and witnesses forget details or become hard to reach. Insurers also look for gaps, such as a delay in seeing a doctor or missing photos, to argue that injuries are minor or that the injured driver shared the blame.
New Jersey reduces recovery by a person's share of fault and bars it above 50%, and many drivers must also prove a qualifying injury with objective medical evidence, so early records usually carry the most weight.
Some of the most useful proof is also the hardest to get. Event data recorders in many vehicles store speed, braking, and seat belt use in the seconds before impact, but that information can be lost once a car is repaired or sent to salvage.
The first few days after a highway accident tend to decide what evidence will still exist later. Our team at The Law Offices of Sander Budanitsky can help you identify what should be saved and how to request it after your accident.
