From an on-scene report:
A Honda Accord was going north along a right-hand curve in the 200 block of Main Street when it crossed the road and splintered a utility pole. It went back across the street, rolling onto its roof and ending up just outside the McCrea Memorial United Methodist Church.
The man driving the car had gotten out by the time police arrived. He was taken to Hackettstown Medical Center.
Main Street was closed until 2:10 a.m. between Hoffman Road and Cherry Tree Bent Road.
In addition to Mansfield police, the township rescue squad and fire department as well as Tri County Fire Department and Butler Park Fire Department responded.
