Cops: Morristown Man With Child Unrestrained Ignores Stop Sign, Causes Crash

29-year-old man, female passenger and three children treated and released from hospital following Sunday's crash.

A Morristown man, a female passenger and three children in his car were injured Sunday when he ignored a stop sign, causing an accident at the intersection of Woodland Road and Prospect Street, Madison Police said.

Canice Wall, 29, was driving a 2008 Nissan sedan southbound on Prospect Street when he went through a stop sign at the intersection of Woodland Road at about 2:30 p.m. Sunday, Madison Detective/Lt. Dennis Lam said.

The Nissan was struck by a 2004 Jeep wagon driven by Deborah Losapio, 59, of Randolph, who was traveling eastbound on Woodland Road, Lam said.

Wall, front-seat passenger Courtney Evans, 27, of Morristown, and three children, ages 9, 8 and 4 were taken to Morristown Medical Center for injuries sustained in the crash and later released.

Wall complained of head and neck pain and the 4-year-old child, who was not properly restrained in a child car seat, complained of stomach pain, according to Lam.

Losapio was not injured in the accident.

Wall was issued summonses for disregarding a stop sign and failure to restrain a child in a child restraint device.

The intersection was closed for a period of time as the Madison Detective Bureau, Morris County Sheriff's CIS Unit and the Madison Fire Department investigated and cleaned up the scene.
