The Toyota’s driver was pronounced dead at the scene. Her child was taken to Jersey Shore University Medical Center in Neptune and was reported to be in stable condition.
The Chevrolet’s driver was also transported to Jersey Shore University Medical Center, where he remains in stable condition. A woman riding with him was taken to Community Medical Center in Toms River and pronounced dead.
The Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office Major Crime Unit-Vehicular Homicide Squad and Toms River police are continuing the investigation with assistance from the Ocean County Sheriff’s Office Crime Scene Investigation Unit.
