Berkeley Township — including Bayville and the Pine Beach area — stretches along Route 9 in central Ocean County, just south of Toms River. It’s a busy mix of year-round residents and shore-bound traffic, and its main highways carry steady volume that turns into a steady volume of crashes, especially rear-end and turning collisions on the congested stretches.
Where Berkeley crashes cluster
- Route 9 through Bayville — the township’s main corridor, with stop-and-go retail traffic and frequent turns.
- Route 37 — the eastern approach toward the bay and the bridges.
- Pinewald-Keswick Road and other connectors — busy crossings between neighborhoods and Route 9.
- The Route 9 / Route 37 area near the Toms River border, where traffic converges.
What to do if you’re hurt in a Berkeley crash
Get medical attention the same day even if you feel okay — adrenaline masks whiplash and disc injuries, and a treatment gap is the first thing an insurer uses against you. Don’t give the other driver’s insurance company a recorded statement before you talk to a lawyer. Here’s our guide for after a NJ car accident, and more on Route 9 crashes in Ocean County.
