Police have identified the two people killed in a fiery crash on the Atlantic City Expressway Friday afternoon.
Sean McBride, 35, of Egg Harbor Township, and 31-year-old Gabrielle Lynnes, of Marmora, were killed in the accident that occurred around 1: 30 p.m. in the westbound lanes of the snowy roadway near mile-marker 21 -- not far from the Frank S Farley Service Plaza in Hammonton, New Jersey, investigators said.
McBride, who was driving, lost control of a 2003 Jeep Liberty and crashed into a 2003 BMW that was stopped on the right shoulder, authorities said.
The Jeep then went up in flames and the two victims had to be pulled from the fiery vehicle.
The BMW's driver, 38-year-old Scott Lerario, of Linwood, was outside his car, changing a tire when the crash occurred. He was struck by the Jeep and thrown a short distance.
All three victims were rushed to AtlantiCare Medical Center. McBride and Lynnes were pronounced dead at the hospital. Lerario is in stable condition.
The cause of the crash remains under investigation.
