GSP: In the area of Interchange 67 Northbound for a serious crash (just north of the on-ramp). This came in as a wrong way driver originally, and now has turned into a three-car MVA. Reported as three cars involved, and one vehicle smoking heavily. Dispatch is further advising there are patients trapped inside their respective vehicles with one vehicle overturned.
NJSP is requesting everyone (PD, FD, EMS) to respond, and possibly a Medevac on standby. As per Barnegat PD there may be one fatality.
This is a developing story- OCSN will make a new story when additional information becomes available.
Update: Two patients DOA (unconfirmed) ????
Ocean County Scanner News omg ????????????

????????????
Just drove by this. Some of the worst damage I’ve seen on a vehicle first hand. Looked bad
Tim MacDonald any idea what kind of vehicle?
Eliza Beth no clue. There was a lot going on, and if I tried to guess, I’d probably remember wrong. The degree of front end damage on one of the vehicles (a non-flipped one) definitely made me think it was wrong way head on collision
Tim MacDonald wow. So unfortunate. Of course I have family down that way so my brain instantly thinks the worst????. A tragedy none the less.
Tim MacDonald definitely wrong way driver
Eliza Beth someone said the wrong way driver was a Toyota Camry
Turns out I did know the woman who was hit by the wrong way driver????
Eliza Beth I’m so sorry.
Don’t drink and drive
Must of got drunk asf last night woke up drunk and tried to drive home

????????????
Another New Years fatality….happens every year some people never learn. This is why I avoid travel at all costs on New Year’s Eve/day
Stephan Damato I agree ! I stay home at all costs the night before Thanksgiving and New Years Eve/day.
This is Barnegat if it’s exit 67 for those not familiar with the area. I’m wondering how someone would go the wrong way unless they tried to back up on the exit. In any case my heart goes to these folks and their families. What a horrible event. Prayers to all
Lisa Mazzola they could have easily been stopped on the over pass coming into barnegat & made the right onto the off ramp to go head on to north bound traffic.
Melissa Meemrock-Mulvany true. it’s heartbreaking.
Lisa Mazzola very sad!!!
Lisa Mazzola they were on the parkway for miles going the wrong way according to some witnesses.
Holly Marie perhaps coming from the forked river food and fuel? The signs can be confusing and folks get turned around accidentally entering the parkway in wrong direction.
Lisa Mazzola nobody drives for 5+ miles because they’re confused. Guess we will have to wait until the investigation occurs.
Holly Marie perhaps. In any case it’s very sad and my heart goes to all involved and their families
Melissa Meemrock-Mulvany on my way to Toms River. We passed her at forked river service area! Really sad
Holly Marie exactly like wth they don’t realize it?! I would immediately freak out and pull over ????????♀️ terrible
Yeah we just passed it. They were on parkway not the on ramp. So sad.
It don’t take much today to have a crash, very sad. . .????

Good lord why dont people cAll an uber

I got on the parkway north bound off forked river exit 74, and I see this car coming at me. The guy in front of me swerved and I stayed in right lane, she was coming down middle lane going wrong way going fast! Called 911 right away. Nothing more I could do. I’m so sad to read that this happened. ????????????
Janine Kathryn she made it 7 miles going the wrong way. How did she not know?
Janine Kathryn that’s so scary so glad you are safe.
Janine Kathryn was probably me that swerved out of the way! That’s exactly where she passed me
Danny Ruckstuhl do you have a maroon car? So glad you are ok.
Amy Meissner she had a weird look on her face. I was actually able to see her face even though she was going so fast. My whole mind was like on high alert. I don’t know if it was a suicide, or what. I don’t want to make accusations, but this is so sad for the innocent ppl just headed for work or home. ????
Janine Kathryn nah guess it wasn’t us you saw but we definitely just missed her too…. I made eye contact with her!
Danny Ruckstuhl so crazy! Did she have a weird look in her eyes? I saw her face, just didn’t make eye contact.
Janine Kathryn glad you and Danny are ok, sorry you had to witness that, must have been so very scary. So sorry to the victims families ????????????
Jennifer Sherman thank you! I am definitely feeling some sort of way. Sad and grateful! I’m sorry for the victims and their families. ????
Janine Kathryn so what happened to her??
Janine Kathryn was she younger or elderly?
Debra Mack she was younger. Dark hair.
Janine Kathryn That’s absolutely terrifying glad you’re ok..
Tim Swan thank you!
Glad you are ok! How scary.
Patchy Albora thank you!
Janine Kathryn i was thinking suicide as well. How do you not know and make eye contact? At least slow down or pull over! Just horrible for everyone that had to witness any of this. I’m sorry your day started off like this ????
Toni-Marie Mack idk if she was one of the fatalities.
Janine Kathryn glad you guys are ok. This is so sad.
Christine Taute I see some people are saying that maybe she was having a medical condition at the time. I seen her face, I am doubting that was the case. Unless physiological.
Chrissy DZio thanks. It really is. I was just driving Scott to work. We only have one car right now, and I wanted to do something with the kids or I wouldn’t be out that early for sure! ????????
Janine Kathryn so very sad the whole thing.
Holy shit! Glad you guys are okay…
Brad Hagaman thanks Brad!! ❤️
Janine Kathryn You’re welcome. Thank God you weren’t directly involved. The police are definitely gonna need a statement from you guys.
Janine Kathryn maybe she.was flying to soch for a family emergency and.didnt realize what she was doing either way its a tragedy
So sad
what a way to start off the New Year. Sending prayers for all involved.
Soo very sad????????
This stupid bitch drove past me going the wrong way by the forked River rest area
Danny Ruckstuhl well that “stupid bitch” is dead now……
Danny Ruckstuhl maybe you should have called it in and this could have been avoided?
Holly Robertiello no shit sherlock. I was waiting for somebody to say this. I did call it in too so did god knows how many people. What the hell are the cops going to do to stop that?! She made it about 7 miles after I saw her, doing that speed I’m surprised she drove for another 4 or 5 mins. Im wrong for calling her dumb bitch?
Holly Robertiello serious? Unavoidable!! My bf called 911 right away. She was going fast! Happened minutes after she passed us.
Holly Robertiello several people called it in and it still couldn’t be avoided..maybe you should place blame elsewhere?
Janine Kathryn the “stupid bitch” was quoting him that he was being an asshole and insensitive for calling her that. If everyone who saw it called, you never know what could happened.
Holly Robertiello not surprised my comment was removed. You’re a straight up Karen, obviously. There was nothing anyone could have done. You clearly do not live in the real world
Holly Robertiello you’re a real rocket scientist aren’t you
Danny Ruckstuhl mmmmmk.
Holly Robertiello do not try to blame that man for all thatt what is wrong with you? There was probably many other people on that parkway
Holly Robertiello insensitive?? Please give me one scenario that wouldn’t be “stupid” on her part. He could have lost his life today! If he wants to vent it out, let him and move on! Maybe your being insensitive!
Holly Robertiello
Danny..glad you are ok!
Danny Ruckstuhl thank God you didn’t collide with her. I’ve had that happen to me years ago and was also very lucky to avoid a collision. Very scary????????????
Janine Kathryn Exactly.
Very hard to make a split second decision on how to avoid the oncoming car while also trying not to risk the lives of the other people around you, traveling the same direction. Nobody can be prepared for that!
Respect to those who safely avoided her!
Glad you’re all safe ????
There was nothing,aside from a trooper spotting it and intervening,that anyone could do.A crash was inevitable!
Danny Ruckstuhl you could have called her things that are much worse…and it could still be appropriate…
That’s horrible. I got an alert the the parkway was closed in that area until further notice.

Jose Quervo so glad your ok how frightening!!
Jose Quervo I was right by you, I’m sure. I may have been behind you if you have a maroon car. So scary! Glad you are safe!
Christine Taute thank you so much. I was in my car counting change for the upcoming tolls.. I’m glad I looked up when I did, otherwise it would have been too late
Jose Quervo that had to be absolutely heart stopping!
Jose Quervo gives me chills, so glad you are okay.
Thank you so much
Jose Quervo I had this happen to me on New Year’s Day years ago out in Hammonton AC Expressway. It is so scary seeing someone come at you so fast. And everyone trying to avoid each other.
I pulled over for a few minutes just to collect myself and calm down.
