Route 37 is the spine of Toms River — the road everyone uses to reach the Parkway, the mall, the hospital, and the bridge to Seaside. That volume makes it one of the busiest and most crash-prone corridors in all of Ocean County, especially where it meets the Garden State Parkway and along the strip-mall stretches with constant turning traffic.
Where Route 37 crashes cluster
- The Parkway interchange — heavy merging and sudden slowdowns.
- The retail corridor — rear-end and turning crashes from cars entering and exiting shopping centers.
- The bridge approaches to Seaside — jammed every summer weekend.
- Major intersections like Route 37 and Hooper Avenue.

Get medical attention even if you feel “okay” — adrenaline masks injuries, and a gap in treatment is the first thing an insurer uses against you. Don’t give the other driver’s insurance company a recorded statement. Our full checklist is here: what to do after a car accident in NJ.
