OLD BRIDGE, N.J. (AP) - Authorities have released the names of a New Jersey couple killed when the ride-sharing car they were passengers in was involved in a three-vehicle crash.
Old Bridge police say 72-year-old Grigory Deli and his 71-year-old wife, Margarita, were pronounced dead at the scene of the crash, which occurred shortly before 6 a.m. Monday on Route 9.
Authorities say the Manalapan residents were in the back seat of the ride-sharing car that was rear-ended by an SUV and then pushed into a third vehicle.

The cause of the accident remains under investigation.
