Why are so many Wall accidents rear-end crashes?
They cluster on Wall's state highways. Route 138 is the extreme: 48 of its 62 injury accidents, 77%, were rear-end. On county and local roads the share is 29%, close to the county.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Route 35 | 119 | 64 | 54% | 503 | 1 |
| Route 34 | 90 | 55 | 61% | 529 | 0 |
| Garden State Parkway | 86 | 42 | 49% | 524 | 0 |

Being rear-ended does not settle fault on its own: New Jersey splits fault by percentage among the drivers. Our rear-end crash guide on fault and who pays walks through how that plays out.
About seven in ten injury accidents, 444 of 620, were on state highways, interstates or the Parkway. Beyond the town line, our Route 35 accident page, town by town and Route 33 crash counts pick up the same roads.2
Who has your Wall crash report: Wall police or the State Police?
Wall police for Route 35, 34, 138 and local streets; usually the State Police for the Parkway and I-195. In 2024 and 2025, 186 of 499 Wall Parkway records named the Holmdel station, and 31 of 68 on I-195 named Hamilton.
| Where the crash was | Agency | How to request | Fee | Wait |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Route 35, 34, 138, 33, county and local roads | Wall Township Police, Records and ID Bureau, 2700 Allaire Road | Online link, or by mail with a legal-size stamped envelope | $5.00 by mail | 3 to 5 business days; longer for serious or fatal crashes |
| Garden State Parkway | NJ State Police (Holmdel station on many records) | njportal.com crash report portal | $5.00 toll road report | Search again a few days later if not posted |
| I-195 | NJ State Police (Hamilton station on many records) | njportal.com crash report portal | $13.00 non-toll report | Kept six years from the crash year |
| No officer came | You file it | SR-1 form, linked from Wall's online reports page | None listed | Not applicable |
The Allaire Road bureau works 8:00 to 4:00, Monday to Friday, at (732) 449-4500. Call ahead with the case number, time, location and names of those involved.
Many Wall Parkway records name no station at all, so check the agency on the paperwork the officer gave you. Portal steps for every agency are in our New Jersey accident report guide, and the codes on the form are decoded in how to read a New Jersey crash report.3
Is Easy Street at Herbertsville Road Wall's worst intersection?
By recorded injury accidents, yes. Easy Street at Route 549 (Herbertsville Road) had 14 accidents in 2024 and 2025; 8 hurt someone, 16 people in all, and every one was coded right angle.
See the full table

|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 8 | 6 |
| 2025 (preliminary) | 6 | 2 |
| 2024 and 2025 | 14 | 8 |
No other corner had more than 3. Six tie at 3, including New Bedford Road at Route 35, Meeting House Road at Route 35 and Allenwood Road at Belmar Boulevard. Another 19 tie at 2.
"Right angle" means the vehicles met roughly side to front. Statewide corners are ranked on our New Jersey intersections list.4

Questions after a Wall Township crash
What is the first thing you do after a car accident?
Get out of live lanes, switch on hazards and call 911 if anyone is hurt. Write down the officer's name, agency and case number: in Wall that tells you whether the Allaire Road bureau or the State Police portal has your report. Our first 24 hours checklist covers the rest.
Are accident reports public record in NJ?
The basic crash report is. Serious and fatal investigation reports are not, and need a subpoena or a court order.
How to report an accident without a police report?
File NJDOT's SR-1 self-reporting form online, linked from Wall's online reports page. It is the only form NJDOT accepts for a crash police did not investigate, and its acknowledgment can go to your insurer.
Should I get a lawyer for a car accident that wasn't my fault?
Our seven signs you may need an accident lawyer show when a review makes sense. Before deciding, see how your own PIP pays medical bills, how New Jersey splits shared fault and the 2-year and 90-day claim deadlines.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 on Route 70. 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
- Records: every NJDOT crash record for Wall Twp, Monmouth County, 2023 to 2025, normalized by nj-crashes, deaths supplemented from State Police (downloaded 2026-11-06). 2025 is preliminary, at 98% of Wall's 2024 total.
- An injury accident is a police-reported crash where at least one person was hurt or killed.
- Road rows add both directions and match the route-number field plus a state-style road name (NJ, US, I- or Garden State), so same-numbered county roads stay out; totals can be off by a few injury accidents.
- Corners and the State Police station field use 2024 and 2025 only. Corner spelling variants are not merged, so corner counts are a floor.
- County and statewide rear-end share: 30.7%. These are counts, not risk rates: we have no traffic volumes.
