MORRIS COUNTY, NJ — A 22-year-old woman is dead following a crash in Morris County that put herself and another driver in the hospital, officials say.

Jamie Aughenbaugh, of Hopatcong, succumbed to injuries she sustained in the hospital on Sunday, five days after the crash, according to officials.

Authorities discovered that a white Chevrolet Tahoe, driven by a 38-year-old Randall, Texas man, collided with a black Toyota Corolla, driven by Aughenbaugh, police said.
