A fatal crash in South Brunswick Township, New Jersey is under active investigation following a multi-vehicle collision early Sunday morning.
According to information released by the Middlesex County Prosecutor’s Office and the South Brunswick Police Department, the incident occurred around 2:04 a.m. on April 19 along Route 1 North at Ridge Road.
Authorities said a 2025 Toyota Camry, driven by a 31-year-old woman from Jersey City, was rear-ended by a 2012 Lexus SUV operated by a 53-year-old man from Chester, Pennsylvania.
