A Mullica Township man was in critical condition Saturday night after his pickup truck flipped over into a front yard, police said.
The one-car accident happened Saturday evening at the intersection of Moores and Chestnut Avenues, police said. Raymond Gaunt, 40, was speeding down Moores Avenue when he lost control of his Ford Ranger truck, police said.
