At just before 11:00 AM, on Thursday, September 17, 2009, Cherry Hill Firefighters and EMTs were dispatched to a motor vehicle accident on West Route 70 near Donahue Ave. An EMS supervisor was first to arrive and advised incoming units the accident involved one vehicle that had taken down a utility pole with multiple power lines down, a traffic light standard was in the roadway, and one victim was trapped in the vehicle, which ended up just a couple feet from a home located just off the roadway. Witnesses later said the car, which was travelling east bound, had flipped several times before coming to a stop.
