EGG HARBOR TOWNSHIP – A 64-year-old local man was injured Wednesday morning, Oct. 7 when a station wagon struck the bus shelter in which he was standing.

Linda Worth, 30, of Pomona was traveling south on Fire Road around 9:16 a.m. when she disregarded the red light at the Black Horse Pike intersection, causing her 2008 Dodge Nitro to strike a 1992 Buick Roadmaster operated by Marcee Bridgers, 45, of Pleasantville, police said.

Bridgers’ vehicle veered off the road and struck a NJ Transit shelter occupied by Jeffery Keller of Egg Harbor Township, who was waiting for the bus, police said.

The Egg Harbor Township Police Department responded to the area along with the Cardiff and Farmington volunteer fire companies.

Firefighters helped extricate Bridgers from the vehicle.

Keller suffered head lacerations from falling debris. The Egg Harbor Township Ambulance Squad treated him at the scene before he was transported to AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center, City Campus.
