DEPTFORD TOWNSHIP, N.J. (AP) - State police say a woman has died after her car veered off a southern New Jersey highway and struck several trees.
The 26-year-old driver was southbound on Route 55 in Deptford Township when she left the highway around 9:15 p.m. Tuesday. The woman - who wasn’t wearing a seat belt - was ejected from the vehicle and was pronounced dead at the scene a short time later.
The woman’s name has not been released pending notification of her relatives. No other injuries were reported in the crash and authorities say no other vehicles were involved.
The accident forced authorities to shut down a stretch of the highway for several hours, causing some traffic delays.
The cause off the crash remains under investigation.
