RIO GRANDE — Three people were sent to the hospital, two airlifted, after a crash on Wildwood Boulevard on Feb. 15 at 6:24 a.m.

According to Middle Township Police, the two cars were both traveling towards Wildwood when they collided near the middle of the roadway, which runs between Wildwood and Rio Grande in Middle Township.

 

The force of the crash caused the one car, a Pontiac Bonneville to leave the road, where it stuck a utility pole and flipped over onto the roof.  The other vehicle, a Dodge Caravan, went off the road into the marsh, police said.

Police said the driver of the Pontiac, Mary Houston, 62, of Green Creek and her passenger Paul Alexander, 37, of Rio Grande, were airlifted to Atlantic Regional Medical Center in Atlantic City.

As of Wednesday afternoon they were listed in stable condition.

The other driver, Jean Kascinski, 36, of Green Creek, was taken to Cape Regional Medical Center for minor injuries.

Wildwood Boulevard, east bound, was shut down for approximately five and a half hours for the investigation and replacement of the utility pole.

The investigation is ongoing and charges are pending, according to police. The Cape May County Prosecutor’s Office is assisting in the investigation.
