Lacey Township — anchored by Forked River — sits along the Route 9 and Garden State Parkway corridor in southern Ocean County. Traffic funnels between the Parkway, the bayshore neighborhoods, and the Route 9 retail strip, and that concentration produces a steady stream of car accidents, especially rear-end and turning crashes at the busy signalized intersections.
Where Lacey crashes cluster
- Route 9 through Forked River — the township’s retail spine, with stop-and-go traffic and constant turns into shopping centers.
- Lacey Road — the main east-west connector from the Parkway to the bay.
- The Parkway interchange (Exit 74) — heavy merging where highway traffic meets local roads.
- Route 9 / Lacey Road intersection — one of the township’s busiest.

Don’t give the other driver’s insurance company a recorded statement before you speak with a lawyer. Here’s our guide for after a NJ car accident, and more on Route 9 crashes in Ocean County.
