Who writes the report for a Route 73 accident?
Almost always the town police. Only 46 of 3,349 Route 73 records from 2023 to 2025 name a State Police station, and 38 of those are Folsom records from the Buena Vista station.
So ask the police department of the town where it happened, from Palmyra to Winslow. Folsom is the exception, where the State Police usually write it.5
Fees, waits and the form for a crash no officer attended are on how to get your New Jersey accident report. Statewide rules have their own pages: no-fault PIP after an accident, how partial fault splits a claim and New Jersey injury claim deadlines.
When do Route 73 accidents happen?
Mostly on weekday afternoons: 124 of the 463 injury accidents came between 3 pm and 6 pm. Wednesday had the most (76), Sunday the fewest (53).
Injury accidents rose from 199 in 2023 to 264 in 2024, and preliminary 2025 records already show 316. Statewide injury accidents also rose about 11 percent from 2023 to 2024.

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 73. 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. 7
- 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. 8
- 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. 9
- 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. 10

How we counted
- A record counts as Route 73 when its route number is 73 and its road name has a state prefix, such as "NJ 73": 3,349 records from 2023 to 2025. Two 2024 Maple Shade records named "NJ 38" are included; without them the headline is 461 and 638.
- Cross streets use 2024 and 2025 only, spellings not merged; a match is the nearest cross street the officer named.
- Mount Holly, Mansfield and North Hanover records sit at mileposts inside neighbouring towns' ranges; shown as coded.
- 2025 is preliminary; 2023 comes from a different NJDOT export. Statewide injury accidents: 53,500 in 2023, 59,466 in 2024.
- Counts, not risk rates or fault findings.
