Coming home around 5:30/5:45pm tonight very bad accident in Chats on 532E right after the Patty Bowker intersection where 532 starts to curve to the right. Multiple Emergency personnel (Fire, State Police unmarked & marked and EMT) plus a Life Flight Medivac Helo leaving from the baseball field on Patty Bowker... I saw at least 4 Ambulances (2 staged at the field with multiple EMT/Fire personnel). 532E was shut down, vehicles before the scene were detoured up PB to 70.

Hope whatever happened, that for anyone involved, they recover and make it through the ordeal ok...

Anyone else hear anything?

Drivers fly on 532 through Chats - some are very wreckless and careless of others on the road and I've seen other previous accidents through the area over the years. Based on what I could see tonight, it may have been multiple vehicles & injuries due to the excessive amount of Emergency personell on site.

The intersection by the Bordentown Gun Club has a memorial to a young man killed there. Andrew Fisher who died on 12/16/2011. That road is one that requires full attention.

I wonder if Ralph Cutts who died is from the cranberry Cutts family? Someone here should know the answer to that.

This happened very near my house. I arrived coming home a few minutes after the accident. I wasn't allowed around and had to go the long way around. the emergency trucks had just arrived and blocked the scene. It was very, very bad. I would suspect he was traveling west. 532 abruptly turns as patty bowker road joins it and it is a bad turn. the helicopter that took some of the pics was hovering over my house. The road was closed for sometime and traffic was diverted past my house. I know one of the first responders so I will get more detail, but there is probably little else to the story.

About 7 years ago my fiancé and I stopped on the side of 539, at Webb's Mill, to check out the bog. When we got back in the car, I was using my sideview (we were continuing in the same direction that we were parked) to pull out on the road and something told me to look ahead of my car before pulling out. When I looked ahead, there was a car passing another on the opposite side of the road, putting the passing car on my side of the road. Had I pulled out using only my sideview to see behind me, he would have hit me head-on. Very scary.

Are you from the Cutt's who owns the property right there?
