Elizabeth, NJ (October 2, 2026) – On Thursday, October 1, Elizabeth Fire and emergency units were sent to John Street and 3rd Avenue around 3:18 p.m. after a wreck that involved multiple vehicles was reported.
Medical teams assessed the people involved and took patients to nearby hospitals. Officials have not clarified the severity of the injuries sustained by those involved.
Crews secured the vehicles, contained leaking fluids, and helped tow trucks clear the road. Emergency units finished and left by 3:51 p.m.
The investigation into how the vehicles collided remains ongoing.
We wish a strong recovery to everyone involved.
After a car accident, medical bills typically start to arrive well before a driver knows how long recovery will take. New Jersey's no-fault system is meant to cover that gap. Personal Injury Protection (PIP) is part of most New Jersey auto policies and generally pays reasonable, medically necessary treatment costs regardless of who was at fault in an accident.
The amount available depends on the policy. Standard coverage is $250,000 per person per accident for medical expenses, though drivers can choose lower limits of $150,000, $75,000, or $50,000. A $15,000 option is available only to certain Medicaid recipients.
Drivers may also name their health insurance as the primary payer, which can change which company receives the bills first. One useful first practical step after being involved in an accident is to check the declarations page for these choices.
Complications commonly arise after the first round of bills. Some treatments may need approval from the insurer before they begin, and a denied bill can lead to a dispute that is commonly resolved through arbitration.
