South Jersey’s White Horse Pike has been the site of ongoing traffic tragedies, with a recent spike in fatalities and serious injuries capturing the attention of local authorities. Camden County officials have reported a distressing increase in deadly incidents along the highway, particularly over the past four years.
Statistical data from the New Jersey Department of Transportation paints a somber picture—a staggering total of 11,000 accidents since 2010, leading to 3,894 injuries and claiming 80 lives. The year 2023 alone saw eight tragic deaths as a result of collisions on this notorious stretch of road.
In one harrowing episode on March 14, a fatal accident claimed the life of a 39-year-old passenger when a car drifted into incoming traffic, resulting in a devastating crash. The collision critically injured his wife, who was driving the vehicle, alongside their three children. Earlier this year, on January 26, yet another pedestrian lost their life, marking the fourth pedestrian fatality since November 2023.
As a personal injury law firm that has specializing in helping the victims of car accidents for decades, Mintz and Geftic understands the impact these crashes have. They take a serious toll on families and any community effort to help make things more safe should be applauded. Time will tell how the initiative effects the highway, but it’s encouraging to see an effort underway.
