Woman that drove her car into N.J. emergency room called police for help earlier the same day
The Delaware woman that drove her car into a New Jersey hospital on New Year’s Eve had called authorities earlier in the night asking for help, according to police.
The 38-year-old woman from New Castle, Delaware, said that she called New Jersey State Police in Seabrook earlier in the night asking to be admitted to the hospital for a “crisis” after she was upset with her mother-in-law, authorities wrote in a warrant for her arrest.
When police responded, the woman declined to be taken to the hospital and stated she did not want to be transported to the hospital, but wanted to drive herself with an escort, according to the affidavit of probable cause.
Once state police left, she found the keys to her car and struck two other vehicles in Seabrook before driving to Bridgeton to find help, she told police after she was arrested.
The woman told police she saw the Inspira hospital and thinking no one would help her, decided to drive her car through the double door entrance to the emergency room hoping to knock herself unconscious.
The incident happened around 11:30 p.m. on Tuesday and the woman’s car reached about 60 feet down a hallway and almost struck a security guard, Bridgeton police said Wednesday.
Authorities said the woman exited the car and was taken to another area of the hospital where she waited for authorities to arrive and was uncooperative, according to charging documents.
A state police spokesperson did not immediately return a request for comment Thursday.
The hospital security guard suffered a minor injury jumping out of the way of the vehicle, according to an Inspira spokesperson.
No one was else was injured, authorities said. The woman was charged with assault by motor vehicle, endangering others and third-degree criminal mischief, according to court documents.
The damage to the hospital was estimated at over $135,000 and ambulances were rerouted away from the hospital until about 3:30 a.m. Wednesday to allow authorities to secure the damaged entrance and establish a new temporary entrance, the spokesperson for the hospital said.
The woman did not have an attorney listed in court records as of Thursday.

Love at first slice! Dough-kneading dream girl goes viral tossing pizzas at NJ eatery
She’s hotter than a brick oven right now.
A New Jersey pizza slinger with model-worthy good looks is going viral while tossing dough at her family restaurant — with more than 1.5 million followers lining up to watch videos of her smoke show.
Julia Molinari, 21, who goes by Jumo, posts footage of herself cooking everything from classic caprese to artichoke-topped pies as she banters with her uncle and other workers at Molinari’s Restaurant in Neptune City.
“The Italian-American pizza maker and influencer known as Jumo from Molinari Pizzeria in New Jersey can literally compete with Sydney Sweeney!” @mamboitaliano__ wrote on X.
“Her popularity is skyrocketing and so are her pizzas!”
Another fan gushed, “Jumo’s got sauce and not just on the pizza.”
A recent video shows the dough-kneading dream girl making a pizza with “house dressing on top” — as she flips her waist-length hair.
“Tomatoes from the family garden,” she says, adding the topping.
“You know what’s funny? It’s November in Jersey, and we’re still getting tomatoes,” she says while standing next to an industrial oven in the eatery’s kitchen.
She then tastes a slice and calls it “a winner.”
But plenty of pizza buffs cringed at the thought of a long, loose hair ending up in their mouths.
“Tie your hair back if you are in the kitchen,” a viewer scolded — as another quipped, “There is seventeen feet of hair in that pie.”
A third person added, “Who makes pizza while wearing rings or has her hair loose??
“I don’t buy my pizza because of how the cook looks, I only buy pizza by the taste!”
But any way you slice it, Molinari is fun to watch, fans said.
“Bro, Jumo is straight fire. Way hotter than Sydney Sweeney imo, and those pizzas look insane,” a viewer wrote.
