UNION COUNTY, NJ — Two people were hurt, one seriously, Wednesday afternoon due to a two-vehicle wreck on the Garden State Parkway in Clark, reports local media.
The accident occurred on the southbound lanes at milepost 136.5, at about 1:53 p.m.
According to New Jersey State Police, 54-year-old Maxine L. Uecker, of Port Jervis, New York, was operating a Chevrolet SUV at the same time Jefferey S. Turner, a local resident, was driving a Chevrolet pickup truck.
