FROM THE MULLICA POLICE BLOTTER

Sunday morning (Nov. 23rd) around 11:30 A.M. a car being driven by a 26 year old Atlantic City resident, traveling east on Colombia Rd. hit two motorcycles at Colombia's intersection with Moss Mill Rd. The two parallel motorcyclists had the right of way as at the Moss Mill intersection with Colombia, it is Colombia only that has a stop sign. The 26 year old who was headed to Mullica's recreation fields for a soccer game fled the scene of the accident and was apprehended a short distance away by Mullica police and cited. One of the two motorcyclists had serious head injuries and was medi-vaced to the Atlantic City trauma center in Atlantic City, the other motorcyclist was much less seriously injured. Mullica police describe this intersection; Moss Mill and Colombia as a bad intersection because of the angle the two streets cross. It is not the typical right angle and thus does not allow for a good view of on coming traffic after stopping for the stop sign on Colombia at Moss Mill.
