A car was left on top of a concrete median on Route 1 after being hit by a semitrailer that fled, police said.
A woman driving a silver Honda on Route 1 in Plainsboro on June 9, 2016, end up on a concrete median after being struck by a semitrailer that fled the scene, police said. PLAINSBORO -- If you were driving on Route 1 near College Road Thursday morning, you might have seen something a bit unusual -- a car teetering off a concrete median.
A 38-year-old Kendall Park woman driving a silver Honda wound up on the concrete median like a seesaw after she was struck by a semitrailer that fled the scene, police said.
At around 9 a.m., a white semitrailer was traveling southbound on Route 1 near College Road when it hit the Honda, which was in the center lane, from behind pushing the car forward, according to Lt. John Bresnen, of the Plainsboro Police Department. After the Honda drifted slightly left, the semitrailer then struck it again, causing it to go up and onto the concrete median.
The semitrailer, Bresnen said, then fled the scene, and remains at large. It likely suffered front-end damage, he added.
The woman, who suffered only minor injuries, was taken to an area hospital as a precautionary measure, Bresnen said.
Both left lanes northbound and southbound were closed, but later reopened, officials said.
Anyone with information on the whereabouts of the white semitrailer can contact the Plainsboro Police Department at (609) 799-2333.
