Cherry Hill's 265 Route 70 injury accidents are 31.9% of the road's statewide total, more than Lakewood and Manchester, the next two towns, combined. Every town is ranked on Route 70 accident data from Camden County to the Shore, and claim steps are in our Route 70 crash guide for Cherry Hill.
The township ranks 12th of New Jersey's 564 municipalities for injury accidents and second in Camden County, behind Camden City. Neighboring Mount Laurel's I-295 and Turnpike crash data has its own page.1
Did Cherry Hill crashes rise in 2025?
Yes. The preliminary 2025 file already holds 3,074 Cherry Hill accidents, against 2,820 in 2024, and 735 with someone hurt, against 654.

| Year | All accidents | Hurt or killed | People hurt | People killed | Pedestrian | Bicycle |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

Bicycle accidents moved most: 27 in 2025, almost double the 14 of 2024.
Are most Cherry Hill injury crashes rear-end collisions?
Nearly half are: 672 of 1,358, or 49.5%. Of the 50 New Jersey towns with at least 500 injury accidents, only Paramus has a higher share (see our Paramus rear-end crash data).
See the full table
| Area | Rear-end accidents, hurt or killed | All accidents, hurt or killed | Rear-end share |
|---|---|---|---|
| Paramus (highest of 50 large towns) | 481 | 876 | 54.9% |
| Cherry Hill Township | 672 | 1,358 | 49.5% |
| Camden County | 2,149 | 6,318 | 34.0% |
| New Jersey | 34,717 | 112,966 | 30.7% |
Right-angle collisions came next, with 310 injury accidents (22.8%), and same-direction side swipes added 107. See side-impact and T-bone claims in New Jersey.
Rear-ended? The driver behind is not automatically 100% at fault: New Jersey splits fault by percentage. How that works is in who is at fault in a New Jersey rear-end crash, and county numbers are in our Camden County car accident data.2
Where are pedestrians hit in Cherry Hill?
Most often on Kings Highway (Route 41). Drivers hit pedestrians in 39 Cherry Hill accidents in 2023 and 2024; 9 were on Kings Highway, including 2 of the 4 pedestrian deaths.
Route 70 had nearly four times Kings Highway's injury accidents but only 2 pedestrian accidents. Route 38 and Springdale Road each had one of the other two deaths.
Hit on foot? PIP on a household auto policy usually pays a pedestrian's medical bills; see help after a pedestrian accident in New Jersey. Our car accident data for Camden City shows 154 pedestrian accidents next door.3
Which Cherry Hill intersections have the most injury crashes?
Cooper Road at Evesham Road (Route 544) led in 2024 and 2025, with 4 accidents where someone was hurt. Evesham Road is the corridor to watch: 5 of the 20 corners with two or more.

Who has my Cherry Hill accident report: township police or State Police?
The road decides it. Cherry Hill Police usually take crashes on Route 70, Route 38, Kings Highway and local roads; State Police usually take I-295 and the Turnpike.
- Route 70 and Route 38: almost always township police (1 of 587 Route 38 records names a State Police station); Route 70 detail is in our Cherry Hill Route 70 crash guide.
- I-295: 477 of 581 township records (82%) name a State Police station, 467 of them Bellmawr. More in our page on I-295 construction-zone accidents near Bellmawr. Statewide numbers are in I-295 accident data, milepost by milepost.
- New Jersey Turnpike: the State Police Moorestown station appears on 98 of 101 records.6
Where to pick up a township report
Go to the Police Records window on the Municipal Building's first floor during business hours, or call the Records Unit at 856-488-7822. The township lists no fee or online ordering, so phone first.
No officer came? Then there is no police report to pick up. The township links to New Jersey's SR-1 self-reporting form, the form you file yourself for a crash police did not investigate.7
Cherry Hill crash report and claim questions
Are Cherry Hill accident reports public record?
The township's Police Records page makes crash report copies available to the people involved in the crash, at the Records window.
Can I get a Cherry Hill police report online?
Not from the township, which lists no online ordering, so call the Records Unit. I-295 and Turnpike reports are on the State Police portal; every agency's route is in our New Jersey accident report guide, agency by agency.
Who is at fault in a rear-end crash?
Not always the driver behind. New Jersey splits fault by percentage among every driver who caused the crash, and your damages shrink by your own share. See real fault splits in New Jersey crashes.
Who pays for car damage after a Cherry Hill crash?
PIP never pays for your car. Claim under your own collision coverage, minus your deductible, or with the other driver's insurer for its driver's share of fault. Steps are in our New Jersey property damage claim guide.8
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 Elizabeth. 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. 9
- 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. 10
- 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. 11
- 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. 12

How we counted
- Source: NJDOT police crash records downloaded 6 November 2026 (2023 archive, 2024 and 2025 portal exports, cleaned by hudcostreets/nj-crashes), with State Police fatal data added. 2023 and 2024 are final; 2025 is preliminary and NJDOT may revise it.
- Scope: "Cherry Hill Twp", Camden County. "Hurt or killed" means at least one injured or dead person on the record. Counts, not fault or rates.
- Road totals combine every spelling of each route. Corner counts start in 2024 and keep spellings apart, so they are minimums: one corner has 4, four tie at 3, fifteen tie at 2.
- Reading a filled station field as a State Police report is our interpretation.
