Statewide, about half of all fatal accidents happened in the dark (621 of 1,221). Our page on when most New Jersey accidents happen breaks crashes down by hour and day.

Absecon, Hammonton and Waterford

Absecon City had the most deaths of any town on the road, 5 in 2023 to 2025, and 3 were pedestrians. Two of them died in 2024, under a mile apart, both under spot street lights.

Hammonton had two pedestrian deaths in 2024, both in the dark with no street lights. Waterford Township had one 2023 accident that killed two pedestrians.

Is Gibbsboro Road the worst crossing on Route 30?

Yes, in the 2024 and 2025 records: Gibbsboro Road (County Route 686) had 31 accidents where someone was hurt or killed under Clementon, and 16 more under Lindenwold.

The records file that one junction under two town codes, so it appears twice. Ten of the 14 busiest junctions are Camden County routes.

Your report may not say White Horse Pike at all. The Camden City and Pennsauken end is often coded as Admiral Wilson Boulevard or Crescent Boulevard, and the Atlantic City end as Absecon Boulevard. With "US 30" attached, it is the same route.

The 19 Camden County towns are covered on our Camden County car accident help hub.

Is the White Horse Pike the deadliest road in New Jersey?

Its toll is less about totals than about who dies: 33 of New Jersey's 1,294 road deaths in 2023 and 2024, but more than half of them on foot.

The 2023 file holds just 97 injury accidents on the Camden County side, against 364 in 2024, and Pennsauken has 4 Route 30 records against 130. That is why this page leads with 2024; the county-wide 2023 gap is on the hub.

Which police department has my Route 30 accident report?

Almost always the town police where it happened: only 9 of 4,682 Route 30 records from 2023 to 2025 name a State Police station. Those 9 were in Camden City, Barrington, Magnolia and Galloway.

Absecon, for example, posts a police department page and links an OPRA request form from its city homepage.

A crash on the Atlantic City Expressway, rather than Route 30, is a different agency's report. Our guide to getting a New Jersey accident report lists fees, waits and contacts agency by agency, including the Expressway Authority.5

Two rules come up next for most people: the 51 percent fault rule and the two-year filing deadline in New Jersey.

Where else on the Route 30 corridor do we have records?

Route 30 questions people also ask

Was there a fatal accident in New Jersey yesterday?

This page holds records, not news. The NJ State Police fatal crash statistics list fatal accidents statewide; for a crash on Route 30, the town police where it happened hold the report.

Does PIP cover you as a pedestrian?

Usually yes: PIP on your own or a household member's auto policy pays the medical bills, even though no car of yours was involved. Our guide to pedestrian accidents in New Jersey covers who pays when there is no policy.

Are accident reports public record in NJ?

The State Police portal calls the basic crash report a public record; serious or fatal investigation files are not. A town report is requested from the town, in Absecon through the OPRA form on its homepage.

How long does it take to get an accident report in NJ?

It depends on the agency, and on Route 30 that is almost always the town police. Our guide to New Jersey accident report fees and waits compares them agency by agency.

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 the White Horse Pike. 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. 6
  • 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. 7
  • 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. 8
  • 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. 9

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
  • Records with route 30 and a road name starting "US 30". Local roads numbered 30 and a few records naming only Absecon Boulevard or the White Horse Pike are left out, so totals are a floor.
  • Hurt or killed means at least one recorded injury or death. Labels are as coded; 2025 is preliminary.
  • Cross streets use 2024 and 2025 text matches; spellings are not merged (Galloway's CR 614 appears twice, 10 each).
  • Milepost ranges overlap at town lines. Absecon distances use mileposts 53.30 and 54.11.
  • The State Police count uses an undocumented station field. Statewide deaths by type do not add to 1,294. No traffic volumes, so no rates.
