Monday, January 19, 2009

The crash happened in Hamilton Township Sunday night shortly before midnight.

A police officer was one of three people involved in a crash Sunday night in Hamilton Township, New Jersey.

It happened short after 10:00 p.m. on Route 50 near mile post 22.4.

Investigators say Officer Eric Bittman, 36, was driving southbound when his cruiser drove into the northbound lane, striking a Buick driven by Susan Cossabone, 50.

Both Officer Bittman and Cossabone had to be taken to the hospital, and were listed in stable condition.

Another driver, 24-year-old Jessica Sumervell, crashed after she swerved to avoid the accident. She was not injured.

Police say the accident was one of several handled Sunday night because of icy roads.
