On I-676 the State Police usually hold it: 428 of 548 records name its Bellmawr station. On other city roads under 1% do, so start with the Camden County Police Department.

What these numbers can and cannot tell you
The counts on this page are police-reported car accidents from NJDOT crash records, analyzed by us. They show where and when accidents where someone was hurt happened in Camden City. They do not show who was at fault in any accident, and they say nothing about whether you have a claim or what it could be worth.
Rules that apply anywhere in New Jersey
- Your own auto policy's PIP pays eligible medical expenses "no matter who caused the auto accident," up to your policy's limit and after its deductible and co-pay. If you chose your health insurance as primary, it pays first and PIP pays second. A claim against the other driver for pain and suffering is separate: it depends on fault and on the lawsuit option on your policy. 8
- Being partly at fault does not stop you from recovering, as long as your share is not greater than the other driver's, or the combined share of all the drivers you claim against (the "51 percent" rule). Your damages are reduced by your share. 9
- If someone is hurt or killed, or property damage to any one person is over $500, the driver must tell the police right away and send a written report to the Motor Vehicle Commission within 10 days, unless a police officer files one. If police did not investigate, New Jersey's SR-1 self-reporting form is the form for that. 10
- An injury lawsuit generally must be filed within two years, and a claim against a public body (a town, the state, NJ Transit) needs a written notice within 90 days. These are general rules with exceptions; check your own dates with a lawyer. 11

How we counted
We counted police-reported accidents in NJDOT crash records (2023 archive; 2024 and 2025 from the NJDOT Crash Data Portal), normalized by the hudcostreets nj-crashes project with State Police fatal data added, downloaded 6 November 2026. 2025 is preliminary, at 99.2% of the 2024 total.
"Someone hurt" means at least one person injured or killed. Peers are the 50 towns with 500 or more such accidents in 2023 and 2024. A State Police station in a record marks a State Police report.
Roads are grouped by route number; the 14th, County Route 610, had 21. Intersection counts are a floor, since spellings are not merged.
After dark: 494 of 1,465. Counts are not risk rates and show no fault.
