Toms River, NJ (September 12, 2025) – Two women were killed, and two others, including a child, were injured in a tragic crash on Thursday night in Toms River. The collision occurred on September 11, around 8:45 p.m., near the intersection of Hooper Avenue and Fischer Boulevard.
According to the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office, a 46-year-old man was driving a Chevrolet Equinox south on Hooper Avenue when he lost control, crossing over the grass median and slamming into a Toyota RAV4. The impact caused the Toyota to roll onto its passenger side, and the driver, a 28-year-old woman, was killed.
The passenger in the Chevrolet, a woman whose identity has not been released, also died from her injuries at a nearby hospital. A 4-year-old boy in the Chevrolet was hospitalized with injuries but is currently in stable condition. The driver of the Chevrolet was also in stable condition following the crash.
The Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office has not released the identities of the two women who died in the crash, and the incident remains under investigation.
Our deepest condolences go out to the families and loved ones of those killed in this tragic crash. We hope for a full and speedy recovery for the child and all those affected.
Fatal Car Accidents in New Jersey
Car accidents, especially those that result in fatalities, are devastating events that impact not just the victims but their families and communities as well. This tragic collision highlights the serious consequences that can result from a sudden loss of control or other factors that contribute to crashes.
In cases like this one, where multiple people are killed or seriously injured, it’s important to understand the potential for compensation. While no amount of money can ever replace the loss of a loved one, families may be entitled to financial support to help with medical bills, funeral expenses, and the emotional toll of such an event.
If you’ve been affected by a fatal car accident, you may be entitled to compensation through a wrongful death claim for:
- Medical expenses: For any treatment or emergency care incurred as a result of the crash.
- Funeral costs: These expenses can be financially overwhelming, and compensation can help ease the burden on surviving family members.
- Pain and suffering: This includes the emotional distress experienced by those who have lost a loved one or witnessed the accident.
- Lost income: If the deceased was the primary breadwinner in the family, surviving loved ones may be entitled to compensation for lost wages.
