Incident Details: The crash occurred just before 5 a.m. at the intersection of Delaware Avenue and Library Avenue. A 25-year-old woman was trapped in the car for about 20 minutes before firefighters freed her. She suffered minor injuries to her extremities and torso and was transported to Christiana Hospital in stable condition. Two other individuals were also taken to the hospital for treatment of their injuries.
Investigation and Legal Considerations: The Newark Police Department is investigating the cause of the collision. Investigators may review vehicle positions, driver actions, and traffic signal compliance to determine liability.
