Emergency crews responded to a Brick Township neighborhood Saturday morning after a vehicle reportedly crashed into a home, damaging electrical equipment and creating a hazardous condition.

BRICK, N.J. – Emergency responders were called to Sutton Village in Brick Township Saturday morning after a vehicle reportedly crashed into a home, damaging an electrical box and prompting a hazardous conditions response.

According to emergency dispatch reports, the crash occurred at approximately 9:45 a.m. in the area of 31 Amy Court in the Herbertsville section of Brick.

The Herbertsville Volunteer Fire Company, also known as Station 24, was dispatched to the scene after reports that a vehicle had struck a residence.

Electrical hazard reported after impact

Emergency radio transmissions indicated the vehicle crashed into the home and struck an electrical box, creating a potentially hazardous situation.

Dispatchers advised responding units of a hazardous condition involving damaged electrical equipment. There were also reports of possible wires down following the collision, although that information had not been confirmed.

As of Saturday afternoon, no official information had been released regarding injuries to the driver or anyone inside the home.

The extent of the structural damage to the residence also remained unclear.

Motor vehicle crashes involving homes often require a coordinated response from firefighters, police, EMS personnel, and utility crews because damaged electrical equipment can create additional hazards even after the crash itself has ended. Utility personnel are typically called to secure damaged service lines and restore power safely before the scene can be cleared.

JCP&L reports about 40 customers without power, with restoration anticipated for after 1pm today.

Additional information is expected once Brick Township authorities complete their investigation and assess the damage.
