MANSFIELD – A collision between a tractor trailer and a full-size cargo van on Thursday closed Route 206 for about 4 hours in both directions, according to township police.
Police said the tractor trailer, driven by 45-year-old Lamont Sonds of Hampton, Ga., tried to make a u-turn about one-eighth of a mile south of Atlantic Avenue at 6:34 a.m. when the crash occurred.
The crash, police said, sent the three van occupants – Brooklyn, N.Y. residents Hoang T. Truong, 59, who was driving; Jenny Truong, 18; and Hai Le, 34 — to Capital Health Center–Fuld Campus for injuries. The two people riding in the tractor trailer were uninjured, police said.
The cause of the crash is under investigation, and no charges have been filed. Anyone with information on the incident is asked to call police at 609-298-4411.
