Manchester Woman Dies In Crash With Parked Pickup

MANCHESTER, NJ — A Manchester Township woman died early Monday morning when her car crashed into a tree and a parked pickup truck, police said.

Judith M. Oliveri, 67, of Manchester was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash in the Pine Acres Manor section of town, Manchester Capt. Todd Malland said. Investigators believe she may have suffered a medical episode that led to the crash, he said.

The crash happened about 2 a.m. near the intersection of Central Drive and Manor Court, he said. Oliveri was driving a silver 2014 Chevrolet Spark west on Central Drive and failed to negotiate the curve at Manor Court, Malland said. The car left the road and hit a small tree and a road sign and then hit a 2002 Dodge Ram parked in the street head-on, he said.

Oliveri was not wearing a seatbelt, he said, and both airbags had deployed. She was unresponsive when officers arrived, Malland said.

Assisting at the scene were EMTs from Quality Medical Transport and paramedics from MONOC as well as representatives from the Ocean County Medical Examiner’s Office, and detectives from the Ocean County Sheriff’s Office Crime Scene Investigation (CSI) Unit.

Patrolman Ian Bole is investigating.
