Four people – including two children and a township police officer – were injured December 23 after a car hit a tree on John F. Kennedy Boulevard, near Berger Street.

Police said the car’s driver, a 38-year-old township woman, and her two children, aged 9 and 11 years, were pulled to safety from the car by police before the vehicle was engulfed by heavy smoke and fire.
