Deer caused 2-vehicle crash that killed 19-year-old, cops say
A deer that darted out in front of a Jeep late Sunday on a highway in Sussex County was blamed for causing a two-vehicle crash that killed a 19-year-old woman and seriously injured the 18-year-old driver, authorities said.
The fatal crash was at least the second involving a deer Sunday on a New Jersey highway, authorities said.
Investigators said the Jeep was on Route 94 in Newton when it struck the deer and veered into the oncoming lane of traffic near Yellow Frame Road, according to First Assistant Prosecutor Greg Mueller of the Sussex County Prosecutors Office.
