Manchester Township police responded to the report of an overturned pickup on Horicon Avenue at around 10:35 a.m. on Tuesday, May 14, the department said in a news release. The crash happened on Horicon Avenue, about a half-mile east of County Route 530.
Officers found a white 2020 Toyota Tacoma on its driver's side with extensive front-end damage. Investigators said the pickup was heading west on Horicon when it crossed the center line and went off the road.
The truck hit several trees and spun around about 180 degrees. The Toyota turned onto its driver's side and came to a stop facing east in the eastbound lane of Horicon.
The 42-year-old Pennsauken man driving the pickup suffered several severe injuries "to his entire body." He was rushed by helicopter to Jersey Shore University Medical Center and was listed in critical condition at the Neptune hospital.
Investigators also said the man wasn't wearing his seatbelt during the crash. The investigation was ongoing but police said the driver's failures to stay in his lane or wear his seatbelt were the main causes of the crash.
Manchester paramedics responded to the scene, along with firefighters from Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst and Whiting.
