HAMILTON TOWNSHIP - Four people are in the hospital following a Thanksgiving morning car accident near the Village at Harding Run condominium complex.

Maria Ventura, 38, was driving north on New York Avenue with her husband, Angel Ventura, 46, and two children when the car left the road at about 9:40 a.m., hitting a telephone pole and overturning in the roadway, police said.

Police could not confirm the relationship between the children and adults Thursday night.

Rescuers had to extract all four people from the car, police said. Maria and Angel Ventura and a 4-year-old passenger were taken to AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center, City Campus in Atlantic City. A 2-year-old inside the car was airlifted to Cooper University Hospital in Camden. Conditions were unavailable for the four.

The Mays Landing, Cologne and Laureldale volunteer fire companies, and the Hamilton Township Rescue Squad and AtlantiCare paramedics responded to the crash.
