Dunkin' on Route 22 in Springfield, NJ closed after crash

SPRINGFIELD (Union) — If a stop for coffee at the Dunkin' on Route 22 is part of your routine you'll need to have another plan after a vehicle slammed into it Friday morning.

Two vehicles were involved in a crash on the eastbound lanes just past the TGIFriday's about 9:30 a.m.

Springfield police Chief John Cook told New Jersey 101.5 that the impact sent one of the vehicles off the road and into the Dunkin' located in the center island of the roadway.

The driver and child inside the vehicle were not injured and no one inside the Dunkin' was injured, either.
