Manchester Township Police said On Saturday, at approximately 1:15 am, officers from the Manchester Township Police Department responded to the area of County Route 571 and Quarry Road to investigate a motor vehicle crash involving a single motor vehicle that collided into multiple trees.
Upon arrival, officers observed a silver 2001 Ford Taurus with extensive driver-side damage along the property line of 3454 Ridgeway Road.
Police say the investigation revealed that the Ford was negotiating a curve on Route 571 when the driver lost control and impacted a tree.
This initial collision caused the vehicle to continue into another smaller tree before resting in a wooded area.
The driver of Mr. Sean Page, 21, of Howell, was injured due to partial ejection caused by not wearing a seatbelt during impact.
Mr. Page was subsequently transported via ambulance to a landing zone, where he was then airlifted by medevac helicopter to Jersey Shore University Medical Center in Neptune.
Police said he sustained life-threatening injuries and is currently listed in critical condition.
The investigation into this crash is still ongoing, but at this time, speed appears to be a contributing factor.
. This crash is being investigated by Patrolman Keith Douglas of the department’s Traffic Safety Unit.
