Two employees of Cherry Valley Farm were injured when a 2017 Honda Ridgeline pickup truck crashed into the farm stand at 619 Cherry Valley Road Sept. 4, according to the Montgomery Township Police Department.

The 16-year-old driver, who lives in Rocky Hill Borough, lost control of the vehicle, police said. He had a driver’s permit and was driving the vehicle with his father. The teenager allegedly mistook the gas pedal for the break pedal after shifting gears to drive, police said.
