A $1.5 million settlement was reached on Nov. 1 in a Middlesex County suit, Murphy v. Schildge, after a man ran a stop sign causing another car to roll several times and then strike a telephone pole.

On March 12, 2019 at 3:27 p.m., George Schildge ran a stop sign at the intersection of Holmes Mill Road and Arneytown Hornerstown Road in Upper Freehold Township. The plaintiff, Joseph J. Murphy, was traveling southbound in his 2010 Volvo on Holmes Mill when he was struck on the driver’s side, causing his car to run off the road, turn over several times, and eject him from the vehicle before striking a telephone pole, according to Jeffery A. Rizika of Javerbaum, Wurgaft, Hicks, Kahn, Wikstrom & Sinins in Springfield.
