  • News

A crash injured four people and closed the Black Horse Pike for about two hours Friday afternoon in Egg Harbor Township.

Evelyn Gomez-Erazo was making a left turn out of the Petro AC Gas Station to head east on the Black Horse Pike in the township's West Atlantic City section just after 2 p.m., when she entered the path of a westbound Honda Civic, according to the report.

Gomez-Erazo, 29, of Atlantic City, was not wearing her seat belt and was thrown from her 2016 Ford Escape, Lt. Mark Mensch said.

She was treated by township EMS AtlantiCare Paramedics at the scene, and then taken to the Trauma Unit at AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center in Atlantic City for life-threatening injuries, Mensch said. 

The Civic's driver, Lamar Parker, 40, also of Atlantic City, and his two passengers were taken to AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center's City Campus for moderate injuries.

Atlantic City  and Pleasantville police assisted at the scene, along with Tri-Care EMS, and Exceptional Medical Transport. 

The Black Horse Pike was closed in all directions for about two hours while the scene was investigated and cleared.

The crash is being investigated by Officers Nick Poletis, Robert Moran and Thomas Rizzotte and Sgt. Ed Stearns. Charges are pending.

Anyone who witnessed the crash is asked to call the Egg Harbor Township Traffic Safety Unit at 609-926-4045.
