An Atlantic Highlands motorist was injured after she fled an attempted stop by Little Silver police and crashed into a tree in Red Bank early Christmas morning, police said.
Little Silver police initiated the stop on Lacey Wipperman, 33, on Branch Avenue at about 1:45 a.m. Tuesday for suspicion of driving while impaired, according to Little Silver Chief Dan Shaffery.
After fleeing, Wipperman crashed her car at Harding Road and Clay Street, where she struck a street sign and a tree, said Red Bank Chief Darren McConnell.
Wipperman was taken to Riverview Medical Center with non-life-threatening injuries. She was also charged by Patrolman Darren McConnell with driving with a suspended license, reckless driving, careless driving and failure to maintain insurance; additional charges were pending the results of toxicology tests, McConnell said.
