Egg Harbor Township - A 29-year-old Atlantic City woman was injured in a car and trash truck accident on the Black Horse Pike early Tuesday morning, according to township police.
The accident took place at 6:17 a.m. near Chapman Ford in the Farmington section of the township, Sgt. Robert Gray said. Thomas Martin Jr., 34, of Manahawkin was driving a trash truck west and had stopped to make a left turn when the truck was hit in the back by a car driven by Vyvian Bui, Gray said.
Bui was trapped in her car and the Farmington and Cardiff fire companies had to use mechanical extrication equipment to rescue her. Bui suffered moderate head and leg injuries. The Egg Harbor Township Ambulance Squad and AtlantiCare paramedics took her to AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center in Atlantic City. Bui was listed in fair condition late Tuesday morning, according to Jennifer Tournetta, an AtlantiCare spokeswoman. Martin was not hurt in the accident, Gray said.
Traffic on the Black Horse Pike was delayed for two hours while the accident scene was cleared. Officer Paul Weldon investigated the case and issued a careless driving summons to Bui, Gray said.
