Emergency responders from the Union Fire Company and Rescue Squad had to extricate a trapped Kelly Moraski, a 34-year-old female from Swan Street in Lambertville, from her Acura TLX after the crash on Route 29 near River Knoll Drive.
Hopewell Township Police said the Acura collided with an oncoming Jeep Wrangler and a Ford F250.
Ms. Moraski was taken to Capital Health Regional Medical Center by the Union Rescue Squad and paramedics from Capital Health with several injuries that did not appear to be life threatening, according to police.
