Thank God everyone is alright. I had just avoided an accident here that the foam insulation laying in the middle of the road had almost caused. I called the Middle Township Police from my cell phone, and yes I had a hands free unit, and alerted them to it at 3:16 pm, I was told they already had someone on the way to take care of it.

Here is how it all went down people... Durango and minivan heading South on the parkway. Mini in left lane, Durango in right. There was a piece of foam or something in the road. The Durango went around the right side to dodge it, and when coming back slammed the mini. The power of the impact of the Durango made the mini lose all control....so it flew through the median through a couple lanes, hit only ONE car (thank god) till eventually they both came to a stop, because something had to stop them.. Once the tire flew off the mini, the brakes were really of no use... BUT!..bottom line. Accidents happen....Im alive the rest of the people involved are all intact. It was a miracle, the time.. the speed... the place...the ditch in the median...it really doesnt make sense. You would think it would have been a lot worse...miracles do happen, its amazing we all walked away. So there you have it!....If there is anyone to be blaming anyone it should be me doing the blaming, but I choose to take the high road. I was at the wrong place at the wrong time, thats life, Im just happy Im alive and hopefully next time I'll be at the right place at the right time. Welcome to the game of life people!

Uh, they collided, lost control, slid across median until guardrail stopped them. Seems obvious

The car I saw spinning around was the third one, I think he was going southbound

This crash scared the crap out of me, it missed my car by about 100 ft, all I saw after the cars flew by was a big cloud of dust and vehicles spinning everywhere, it looked pretty bad. Thank God I just missed it.

The question should be, was wreckless driving like speeding, talking on a cell phone or DUI the blame. I like when they call something like this an accident. Speeding and all other kinds of wreckless behavior that causes a crash is not an accident.
An accident is defined as something that happens unexpectedley or by chance. When you get behind a wheel of a car, truck, motorcycle and you dont play by the rules and cause a CRASH then it isnt by accident, it becomes deliberate behavior to possibly cause injuries.
It is time to rewrite the rules of driving and make it so that your behavior will cost you dearly.

My question is how did they crossed the parkway before coming to a stop???
