Route 130 accident questions
Was there an accident on Route 130 today?
This page is not live news. It counts past police reports in NJDOT crash records from 2023 to 2025, so today's accidents are not in it.
Is Route 130 one of the deadliest roads in NJ?
Yes. Of the 29 state, US and interstate routes we profile, Route 130 had the fourth most deaths in 2023 and 2024, 30 people killed, behind Route 1 with 50. See New Jersey's deadliest roads.
How long does it take to get a Route 130 accident report?
A State Police report can take 14 business days to become searchable on the NJ.gov portal. Pennsauken and Hamilton Township do not state a wait; call their records offices at the numbers in the table above.
Are accident reports public record in NJ?
The basic crash report is. Serious or fatal investigation reports are not public and need a subpoena or court order. Details are in our New Jersey accident report guide.
Does PIP cover pedestrians?
Usually yes: PIP on your own or a household member's auto policy pays medical bills even when no car of yours was involved. See pedestrian accidents in New Jersey.
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 on Route 21. 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
Next steps: how to get your New Jersey accident report, agency by agency, and how New Jersey no-fault (PIP) insurance works after an accident. This is general information, not legal advice.

How we counted
We kept NJDOT crash records for 2023 to 2025 with route number 130 and road name "US 130" or "US 130 SECONDARY", both directions, as normalized by the nj-crashes project with State Police fatal accidents added. County roads numbered 130 are excluded.
2023 counts are very low for Pennsauken (18 Route 130 accidents, against 359 in 2024), Haddon and Woodlynne, and Westampton and Lumberton have Route 130 records only in 2023, so town rankings use 2024. 2025 is preliminary.
Cross streets use 2024 and 2025 and do not merge spelling variants. "Dark" covers every dark light condition police recorded. Accident types are the officer's code, and these counts show neither fault nor claim value.
