Three Cars in Rear-End Collision on Lawrenceville Road

A Plainsboro woman was charged with careless driving on July 7 after police said she rear-ended a vehicle on Lawrenceville Road, causing a chain reaction that involved two other vehicles.

Police said Victoria Martinez, 24, of Plainsboro, was driving a 2009 Kia Rio and was unable to come to a complete stop before hitting a 2010 Lincoln Town Car driven by Rotimi Oloye, 59, of Staten Island, N.Y., at 5:44 p.m.

Police said the Lincoln was pushed forward into a third vehicle, a 2006 Mercedes.

Oloye was transported by Princeton First Aid and Rescue Squad to the University Medical Center of Princeton for evaluation after complaining of lower back and left shoulder pain.

Two juveniles in the first car had left the scene before police arrived, and were taken to UMCP by their father, with complaints of chest pain.
