BRANCHBURG TOWNSHIP, N.J. – A Bound Brook woman was charged after trying to flee police, crashing her vehicle on Saturday.
According to police, Jerrie Lee Williams, age 25, was charged for eluding and multiple arrest warrants.
On Saturday, at approximately 11:07 p.m. a Branchburg Township Police officer attempted to stop a motor vehicle on Route 202 south for having an expired motor vehicle registration.
“The vehicle failed to stop when signaled by the officer who activated his emergency police lights and siren. The subject vehicle fled on Holland Brook Road at a high rate of speed. The officer immediately deactivated his police emergency lights and sirens and terminated the motor vehicle stop as the subject vehicle fled,” police said. “Subsequently, as the officer approached the intersection of Holland Brook Road and Old York Road, he observed the subject vehicle which had crashed into a telephone pole. Responding Branchburg Police rendered emergency medical aid to the female driver along with responding medical personnel. The female driver was transported to an area hospital and treated for injuries which she sustained from the motor vehicle crash.”
The driver of the vehicle initially provided officers with a fictitious name but was later identified as Jerrie Lee Williams, who was placed into custody without further incident.
