Two People Fighting For Their Lives After Being Struck By Vehicle In Winslow Township: Police
SICKERLVILLE, N.J. (CBS) -- Two people are fighting for their lives after police say they were struck by a vehicle while crossing a busy intersection in Winslow Township. The accident happened shortly after 7 p.m. at the intersection of Wilby and Berlin-Cross Keys Roads on Sunday.
Winslow Township police say the driver of the vehicle -- a minivan -- stayed on the scene after hitting the two victims.
Police are still investigating, but they say a man and a woman were trying to cross the intersection just off the Atlantic City Expressway when the minivan slammed into them.
Two medical helicopters rushed the two victims to a nearby hospital, where they were placed in critical condition.
The driver of the vehicle and passengers were not injured in the crash.
People who live nearby say they often see cars speeding down Berlin-Cross Keys Road.
"It's just a very, very busy road," resident Ann Jackson said. "And every day, it seems to get busier."
Neighbors pointed out that there are no sidewalks at the intersection.
The Winslow Township Highway Safety United is handling the investigation.
