The crash occurred near 178 Rt. 206 in Roxbury Township around 6:30 p.m.on Monday, May 23, according to initial and unconfirmed reports.

Emergency crews worked for approximately 40 minutes to extricate the driver — who was heavily entrapped but still alert — as a NorthStar medical helicopter was requested to land at the Toys R Us in Flanders, the initial report said.

The patient was then taken to the landing zone and flown to a trauma center for treatment of unspecified injuries, the report says.

Route 206 northbound was shut down near the marketplace, according to a social media post from township police.

Police did not immediately return DailyVoice.com’s request for additional details.
