Police responded to a multi-vehicle collision on southbound Route 73 in Evesham Township at approximately 10:45 a.m. on September 21, 2026. The crash, which occurred between Greentree Road and Lincoln Drive, left three individuals injured and prompted officials to shut down the southbound lanes for several hours while crews cleared the scene.
