Buckwald Drive has since reopened after Toms River Police responded to a minor two-car accident near Church Road at around 2:30 p.m., police said.

Toms River Police Chief Michael Mastronardy said one of the vehicle's occupants complained of knee pain but the injuries were minor. Buckwald Drive was closed for approximately an hour, sending Ocean County College traffic to use the College Drive entrance off Hooper instead of the Church Road access.

At 3:30 p.m., the accident was cleared and the road had been reopened, Mastronardy said.
