On Thursday May 28th at 1113 Hours, the Flemington-Raritan Rescue Squad responded as part of the Hunterdon County Urban Search and Rescue Task Force to a motor vehicle crash into a building on Main Street in Glen Gardner Borough.

Heavy Rescue 495 and Technical Rescue 495 with eight personnel between the two units responded. Upon arrival, the driver of the truck was out of the vehicle and under the care of EMS.
