Pothole Caused Car to Overturn on Kings Rd.

No injuries were caused by the accident.

Kevin O'Shea of the Chatham Borough Police Department said a large pothole caused a driver to veer into a parked car and caused the accident that blocked Kings Road Monday.

Jed Noah, 50, of Morganville was traveling west on Kings Road Monday afternoon when he struck a large pothole near the back exit of Chatham Plaza.

O'Shea said this caused Noah's 2011 Acura to veer to the right and strike a parked car, after which Noah's car rolled over and came to rest on its roof.
