A single-vehicle crash late Sunday night on southbound Route 55 in Deptford Township killed two women and injured another.
New Jersey State Police responded to the crash at 10:55 p.m., Trooper Christopher Postorino said via email. A preliminary investigation shows some of what happened, though the crash is still under investigation.
Ayzia J. Toledo, 22, of Bristol, Pennsylvania, was driving a BMW with Henrietta F. Carter, 22, of Darby, Pennsylvania, in the front passenger seat and another passenger in the rear when she lost control of the vehicle and ran off the roadway. The BMW overturned and struck a tree. Toledo and Carter died of their injuries, and the rear seat passenger was transported to an area hospital for minor injuries.
The families of Toledo and Carter have been notified, Postorino said. No traffic delays were reported after the accident. A GoFundMe has been established in Toledo’s honor.
Last March, three teens, including a student and a graduate of Delsea Regional High School, were killed in a car crash on northbound Route 55 in Elk Township.
