One person is dead after a car crashed into a tree on Ocean Heights Avenue in Egg Harbor Township overnight. Another person in the car at the time of the accident was airlifted to a nearby hospital.
A 21-year-old man is dead and another man is badly injured in a crash that ended with a car between trees on a South Jersey lawn.
Police said the driver, Brandon Seelig, lost control of the 2003 Honda Civic and swerved off the road, slamming into a tree on the 1100 block of Ocean Height Avenue, near Alder Avenue,, in Egg Harbor Township, Atlantic County.
Authorities used the Jaws of Life to pull Seelig and his passenger, 21-year-old Ian Holliday, from the wrecked vehicle, according to the Egg Harbor Township Police Department.
Seelig was pronounced dead at the scene. Medics airlifted Holliday to a AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center. The victim's condition is unknown, although police said he "suffered moderate injuries."
Authorities closed the road for about three hours while they investigated the crash.
