The driver at fault had an open container of alcohol but was not charged with drunken driving.
A Phillipsburg woman was cited after running a stop sign and causing a two-vehicle rollover crash Friday afternoon in Lopatcong Township, according to township police.
The driver of the vehicle that flipped onto its driver's side in the crash was taken to Hunterdon Medical Center in Raritan Township, police Lt. Scott Bisci said.
It occurred shortly before 4:40 p.m. at Baltimore and South First streets.
Brenda Rose, 66, of Brainard Street in town, was driving a 2007 Mercury Milan and failed to stop at the four-way stop sign, striking a Toyota RAV4 vehicle and flipping it onto its side, police said.

The woman in the Toyota, whom police did not immediately identify, escaped out the rear hatch before being taken to the hospital by the Lopatcong Rescue Squad.
Police cited Rose for failure to yield at a stop sign, careless driving and an open container of alcohol, according to Bisci; her blood-alcohol content was not high enough to warrant further charges.
The intersection was briefly closed in all directions.
Also responding were the Lopatcong Township Fire Department and Pohatcong Township police.
