Three teenagers were killed in a crash along Route 55 in Glassboro on Sunday. Police said one of the teens, while driving, struck the left rear corner of a Honda CRV ahead of him, causing him to lose control, cross the right lane, and crash into a disabled Dodge minivan stopped on the right shoulder of the highway.
The minivan, with a woman and three children inside, overturned on impact, officials said. The woman sustained serious injuries, while the children suffered only minor injuries. All were transported to a nearby hospital. The teenage driver and front passenger were killed on impact. The backseat passenger survived the crash but later died from his injuries at a local hospital.
Two of the teens attended Delsea Regional High School, police said. The Delsea Regional School District Superintendent issued a letter to the school community mourning the loss of two young men, one of whom was a recent graduate.
“Our school family is heartbroken, and our thoughts are with their families, friends, and all who knew and loved them,” she said. “We also recognize that this accident has impacted families beyond our school community, and our hearts go out to everyone affected.”
An investigation into the crash is ongoing.
