Newark: Three people who died in a fiery crash on Route 22 late Tuesday night were returning home from a large beach party an hour away in Point Pleasant Beach, authorities said.
The car heading westbound on Route 22 in the area of Weequahic Park crashed and burst into flames around 11 p.m., police told ABC 7 Eyewitness News. The crash ejected the three people.
During his daily news briefing on Wednesday, Gov. Phil Murphy mentioned that the occupants of the vehicle were on their way back from a large gathering an hour to the south.

“I happened to have spoken with (Newark) Mayor Baraka. Three young guys from Newark were killed on Route 22 on the way back from Point Pleasant Beach,” Murphy said, adding that two other males were hospitalized.
“Please keep them in your prayers,” Murphy said.
Essex County Prosecutor’s Office spokeswoman Katherine Carter on Wednesday afternoon did not reveal what led to the crash or the identities of the victims.
Point Pleasant Beach police said “thousands” had descended on the beach during the afternoon and evening. Mayor Paul Kanitra was not happy with the behavior of what he described as “a bunch of disrespectful young people looking for a good time and not caring at all how they acted in the process.”
Six people were arrested by Point Pleasant police.
RLS Metro Breaking News reported that police told them the driver of a Cadillac CTS lost control and crashed.
Police told RLS that five people were inside the car, all under the age of 20. Two females were being treated for severe burns at St. Barnabas Medical Center in Livingston.
Route 22 was closed near the Hillside border until 6:30 a.m.

So sad
Karma!
Please don’t say that???? they are someone’s children ❤️ If they were hooligans and congregated with the others at the beach , yes, leaving A. Mess was wrong . To loose your life for that is not karma it’s tragic .
Jack Dawson
Omg….so sad ..
It wasn’t a party. It was an invasion.
people like you are an invasion to Americans.. you should leave ????
Christopher Popeye Nichols I am an American you dummy. Do you eat your own poop for breakfast? Cuz it sounds like you do.
Christopher Popeye Nichols rude!!
Christopher Popeye Nichols no…no.youre wrong.it was a bunch of little brats who’s moms clearly still clean their bedrooms.grow up ????????????????????????????????
????????????????
Christopher Popeye Nichols hey I have an idea. Next time we’ll send them all to your house
Invasion of vermin!
Christine Barthelme it reminds me of the convention center in Wildwood when you had a trump rally. They left Furniture and garbage everywhere remember.
Christine Barthelme TYPICAL BENNY RESPONSE!
Christine Barthelme YOU choose to live in a tourist town. Get over it or move. Clearly the only thing that matters is the “Jersey Shore” making money.
Christine Barthelme Either way people died. Doesn’t matter how annoying it is all these people come to our homes to party, trash the place and leave. Those were someone’s kids, aunts/uncles, possibly parents.. maybe keep your comment to yourself. Totally wasn’t needed. Have a blessed day.
Anita Arroyo for your info I don’t live in PT Beach, I live in the Boro but you prob don’t know the difference anyway. Wish I made money off of the tourists but I don’t.
Alan Munger this is why liberals sound like IDIOTS. You make a statement that you actually know nothing about. That Trump rally in Wildwood that you speak of, the people WERE ASKED TO LEAVE that stuff to be donated to people in need.
Beth Lane do you have any idea of sense of direction. Benny’s are people that live everywhere but the shore. Get an education!
Anita Arroyo yesterday was not tourists..it was disrespectful little animals
You got that right!
Christine Barthelme why wouldn’t I know the difference? I grew up in Ocean County and know just like everyone else, what it’s like when it gets warm. If you don’t like it than move but don’t complain when YOU choose to live there
John Amoroso Hahahahaha.. yeah okay I’m glad you believe that. Talk about idiot. They were picking all that shit up with front loaders and dumping it into 30 yard roll off containers.
Anne Palumbo-Landolfi that’s your opinion but remember 3 of those “disrespectful little animals” lost they’re innocent lives. Wonder how’d you feel if someone said that about your innocent granddaughter?
Anita Arroyo shame..so many good years ahead of them..
Anita Arroyo I’m not complaining at all. Doesn’t bother me I’m far enough away from the boardwalk and all the shenanigans.
Alan Munger wasn’t there
Anne Palumbo-Landolfi Don’t insult animals:( They were worse ????
John Amoroso just Google trump rally nj garbage left behind. You’ll see it wasn’t donations. It was 1000x more trash than what was left on the beach.
Christine Barthelme you so worried did you go clean the beach?? ????????
Oh so sad ????????????????????
Omg !!!????????
????????????
very sad….
Very Sad ????????Prayers for them ,All under the age of 20,May they R.I.P. ,Heartbreaking for their Families ????????????
Its a cover up because they left before the government could give them the coronavirus. LMAO
Drunk driving I’m sure ..sad nonetheless. RIP

David McCallum Did I miss where it said they where drinking?
Sally O. Noone
This is very sad.
Sad so young.
Unfortunate. Sad for the family. Driving after being exhausted after a day of partying not a good idea
Patchy Albora partying? Or destruction of our beach town
Anne Palumbo-Landolfi fuck your beach town karen, I’ll literally come there and wreck the whole place myself. THESE WERE KIDS, YOUNG KIDS WHO LOST THEIR LIVES IN A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT. God help whoever you surround yourself with you careless, heartless bitch.

Sad how do a thousand people pick a beach and between 7 – 9 not have this planned through social media.
Lisa O’Cone it was planned through Social Media…
Dana Marie
Probably the ones who were drinking. Are we going to have a protest for them now. What day will that be so I can see if ill make it…
Mark Zambella who raised you?
This was a flash mob, not a beach party.
Erin Kasaba seriously? It was a disaster, aimed at catching police doing something bad, which, didn’t happen !!
Speed
Chris Wolf
Lori Patera Puglisi maybe it was this
Gina Marullo I know so sad
Somthing similar happened back in 06 in freehold. A cts crashed and burst into flames.
Donna Sue Jacobs
????????????????????❤️
So very sorry for the family
This is sad that young people died . There were a lot of people in point and no vandalism . I know it was a mess but fir that many people it could have been a lot worse . Those kids must have been so happy to just get to be out and hang out together . It’s sad to end in tragedy .
Yvonne Maria so you think public urination outside the homes of residents is ok? Trashing the beach and neighborhood is ok? They were drinking, high and they were underage to boot. Their lack.of RESPECT and regard for others is sad!
Nancy C. Reader yes you are right ! Public intoxication is an offense they could have been arrested for . I’m simply stating that group was huge . These are unprecedented times .
Yvonne Maria don’t let her bully you , you are absolutely rite with your first comment this is very sad
Yvonne Maria unprecedented times doesn’t condone their behavior and disrespect.
Melinda Benton I’m NOT “bullying” anyone. Simply stating facts. Too bad if the truth hurts.
Nancy C. Reader You must be Mary and your husband must be Joseph . I guess you come from a long line of saints .
Nancy C. Reader You’re on every post about this including private groups and said some pretty nasty things in the private group… Smh!
Nancy C. Reader fuck your beach town karen, I’ll literally come there and wreck the whole place myself. THESE WERE KIDS, YOUNG KIDS WHO LOST THEIR LIVES IN A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT. God help whoever you surround yourself with you careless, heartless bitch.
Nancy C. Reader when I was a teen I drank alcohol, I smoked weed, and if I had to urinate and all the bathrooms were closed yes I would have peed in a bush in front of someone’s house. Those were good times.
Karma…????♂️
Michael Ducoli excuse me???? These were kids, hope you don’t have kids.
Michael Ducoli Of course certain people like on this. Karma? So he deserved to die!?! You are sick!!!!!
Michael Ducoli Disgusting
Michael Ducoli geez, who raised you.
Oh well..stay the hell out of our beautiful beach towns..little disrespectful losers have no business down here
Wow y’all comments on someone losing their life smh…
Tawanda Brinson shame they’re dead..what the hell do these kids think is going to come out of this disgusting behavior? Nothing good
Anne Palumbo-Landolfi ok so you know for a FACT the ppl who died in this accident were disrespectful…losers… and were SPECIFICALLY the ones displaying this disgusting behavior u speak of??
But what I won’t do is go back and forth with someone saying someone’s child deserved to die!!!
Anne Palumbo-Landolfi plenty of trash comes from beach towns too.
Bry Pino truth but not as an attack or invasion
Anne Palumbo-Landolfi I agree. Trust me.
Tawanda Brinson no one wished them to die or is glad they are dead..or.. thinks they deserved to die..i just don’t know what good can come out of the horrific behavior we saw yesterday
https://www.facebook.com/177683402403282/posts/1492409170930692/
Tawanda Brinson you are who you associate with..get real
Tawanda Brinson https://www.facebook.com/177683402403282/posts/1492409170930692/
Anne Palumbo-Landolfi you are ABSOLUTELY right so what I will do is DISASSOCIATE MYSELF from this post and delete my comments…oh and I’m sure your BEACH IS CLEAN right now… but these parents have to plan funerals to bury their kids!! While ignorant ppl on social media saying they got what they deserved….YOU HAVE A WONDERFUL EVENING!!
Anne Palumbo-Landolfi Wow!.. You have children of your own and you say this… Very sad!
What a douchie human being calling a bunch of dead kid losers ???????? especially someone who isnt originally from these beach towns telling people they should stay out of them… get out of here with your shitty self.
Tawanda Brinson I am sorry you have to even see comments like this! I really am. It’s hurting my heart, so I can not fathom how you feel. You can not fix stupid! Which are a majority of these comments. People are on here making large generalizations about this last night. The comments prove why we are where we are today. This is a posting about three young people dying and these are the type of remarks people make. I am not justifying the urination or anything else but it has all happened before with white people as well and not disgraceful comments like this. I give major credit to how the officers and towns handled all
Of this because of the amount of human beings and the towns not ready for such an enormous crowd, whether white or black! The mentality is disgusting which we see in the comments. I am sad. I am sad and I am sad and mad for you. Just remember, as I just needed to be reminded myself, there are still good people through all of this. Sending love and light to you Tawanda Bronson.
Tawanda Brinson I am beyond disgusted with these “human beings”
Courtney Oechsle you see..this is where social media fucks everything up.people write an innocent comment and everyone assumes..makes judgments about people that are not true ???? I NEVER ever said anyone deserved to die! We are ALL VERY VERY SAD AND VERY VERY ANGRY right now with all the violence and racist comments. First off..i am part of an inter racial loving family..second I grew up on the Newark Bloomfield line and remember the riots of 1967 like it was yesterday…sad times..scary times. I am very sorry if my comments upset anyone and I do pray for those young people and their families ????. I just wish these young people would realize that nothing ever ends well when a mob of people behave this way
WOW… SYMPATHETIC MUCH!
Anne Palumbo-Landolfi you tell em! I’m from Newark! I get you.
Anne Palumbo-Landolfi nice back peddle…. What exactly does…. “OH well…” mean???
Anne Palumbo-Landolfi What a Trash comment .
Kids die and you post “Oh Well”. Really
Anne Palumbo-Landolfi i was making a general statement about quite a few of these comments under this devastating news. I absolutely did not insinuate that you said anyone deserved anything but I did see a comment insinuating that. Making a generalization stating “little disrespectful losers is a bit much”. I am sure every teen/young adult that was down here for this gathering was not urinating and twerking. That generalization is part of the problem we are in now. Yes some of the behavior was wrong as it is in many summer crowds. The officers did a phenomenal job responding to this. Having a mixer race child or being from Newark means absolutely nothing if you haven’t been on the receiving end yourself. Just a bit harsh. The fact that not many people acknowledge the distaste and generalizations in these comments is beyond concerning. Thanks.
Anne Palumbo-Landolfi Your comment just adds to the harsh comments and negativity. When will some people wake up?!?
Courtney Oechsle I just have to disagree..sad..bad times bring out anger in People..i try to see the good in Everyone … and I don’t try to analyze and judge every little comment..just me and the way I handle things..
Anne Palumbo-Landolfi I hope your kids or grandkids from your fb cover photo are absolute angels because one day they MORE THAN LIKELY will party with their friends too, hope this doesn’t happen to them. And if it does, at least we know how you feel on the topic. Their lives must not matter at all.
Anne Palumbo-Landolfi

Courtney Oechsle. # Savages
Courtney Oechsle agreed. They were teenagers for God’s sake!
Ali Ashforth Linda Smyth Frank
My heart breaks for the parents that have to bury their children. Teenagers do dumb things sometimes, so sorry for the few with this ending. Blessings for all involved.
Nancy Alarcon
My heart goes out to their families ! Went from a flash mob to something so sad! ????????☮️
So saf
We all did crazy things growing up. My heart goes out to the family members of all involved.
Horrible news ????
????????
Some of ya’ll really have some ugly hearts. These were young people that died. What if their families come across this thread of hateful ugly comments. Have some damn decency
RIP to these young ones
Ali Dico exactly what I was thinking.

Jerry Kowalsky yes
Jerry Kowalsky it was A bride and her wedding party.
Anita Clark OMG that’s horrible!
Naomi Pereira Caton I know can’t even imagine????
Jerry: Yes, they were close friends with one of my distant family members but that was in New York not New Jersey.
I am literally shocked at how many disrespectful comments there are on this post! Shame on you disgusting disrespectful human beings!! God dont like ugly and you people are some of the ugliest
Kathii Maria Schattner agree 100%
Some people should be ashamed of the comments here. Humans are disgusting. ????
This is horrible.
????????for the two young ladies in the Hospital I ???? they pull through…How devastating ..????????
God bless them all and their families. So sad.
We were shocked when we found out that you were allowed to party on the point Pleasant Beach I guess every town has their own rules
See by these nasty comments are proof that some where people have lost thier way ,so sad for the parents of these that died
You fucking heartless assholes. How DARE YOU talk about kids this way.. 1. You either have no
Or
2. Your just a huge asshole to your own kids.
3. Watch what you say…Karma will without a doubt get you. When someone you love or care about passes , and your all upset. Consider it Karma!!! If God Forbid something happens to you. Your parents will suffer with the KARMA.. in some way you will suffer for your heartless comments, so don’t wonder why ! When your a huge heartless asshole..
R.i.p to the people in the car. Prayers for the family.
How did Murphy know these 5 were part of the huge beach party? And why didn’t their mayor take control of the situation? I have seen people get thrown off the beach due to their behavior that is clearly marked at entrance to beach. You know why? Because now the police can’t do shit.
Barbara Mersinger Skirtun while I have ZERO support for Murphy I’d say he knew that where they were coming from by family and friends of the deceased. Also for how the cops handled this there is no way to be prepared for 2000 people showing up all at once with no warning. The fact that police from neighboring towns along with Point PD got this under control within hours without anyone being injured or arrested i think speaks volumes for the good job they did 🙂
Amy Schumacher Tauber wow! I didn’t read that they had it under control! I think so many people are just so happy to get out. Stay safe everyone!
These are teenagers. Kids with their entire lives ahead of them. These comments are awful.
Overflowing with a lot of scared white peoples’, opinions and comments here. You are all disgusting. In a twist of irony you are exactly why there is protesting and burning and looting.
I don’t think this is a lot of “scared white people”, I think it is a lot of white people who are sick and tired of having the finger pointed at them.
I am glad you had the courage to include yourself, Thomas Dunkin.
Jerry Adams
Jerry Adams
Jerry Adams yeah, comments make people loot and burn down cities, i believe it, look at all the changes you people want ????????????
David Meyer you are a dipshit!
Is this accident going to be blamed on white people also???
Thomas Dunkin no, but dumba$$ comments like this are ????♀️
Sad. They were all still human beings. Someone’s child, brother, friend. I just hope alcohol wasn’t related. Maybe they RIP ❤
Just incase anyone was assuming speed, here ya go. Now let’s stop being cruel & let these family’s have peace!
How incredibly sad. May they rest in peace. My condolences to their families.
I’ll say it again, it was definitely not a party! They shouldn’t have even been there!
If you’re too fucked up to drive, call an Uber. It’s not worth your life or your friends lives.
Wow…… some of these comments are more disturbing then any amount of mess on a beach. Prayers to the families of the deceased. ????
These were just babies????. Please tell me you were never stupid and just lucky as hell to make it to 20????
A lot of us did reallllly stupid shit at their ages and we were lucky to have survived. We dont know what caused this, but their families must be hurting. Prayers and healing vibes to them.
Almost all single vehicle accidents that were not caused by excessive speed, are usually one of these three things;
Medical Condition, Distracted Driving, or DWI.
Some of you all were raised badly. Good lord!
RIP
Many lives have changed forever. Incredibly sad. May those young adults rest in peace and may god give those left behind the strength.
