JAMESBURG - A former borough councilman busted with cocaine after a crash in July was in another accident Tuesday morning where he allegedly crashed his pickup into a neighboring town's football scoreboard while high on drugs, authorities said.

Thomas Busco Jr. was given Narcan by emergency responders after the first officer on scene found the 49-year-old unresponsive at the crash, Monroe police Lt. Lisa Robinson said.

Busco resigned from his seat as a Jamesburg councilman on Sept. 7, according to borough Business Administrator Scott Frueh. A month earlier, police charged Busco with cocaine possession after a crash.

The accident Tuesday occurred just before 10:30 a.m. when Busco hit a curb on Perrineville Road in Monroe and drove his Ford F150 off the road, according to Robinson.

An officer responding to a separate incident saw Busco continue across the grass at the intersection, heading toward Monroe Township's Middle School football field when his pickup hit a tree and the metal support on the scoreboard, police said.

The officer arrived at the crash and performed CPR on Busco, who was not breathing and did not have a pulse, according to police.

Monroe First Aid and Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital paramedics responded and gave Busco, who had started to breathe, a dose of Narcan before taking him to Raritan Bay Medical Center in Old Bridge.

Busco was charged with DWI in a school zone, reckless and careless driving and other traffic violations, police said.

The crash remains under investigation. Police ask that anyone with information about the incident call 732-521-0222 Ext: 126.
