Prosecutor: Man From Manalapan Among Two Fatalities In Crash

MANALAPAN, NJ — A 36-year-old man from Manalapan was one of two people who died in a two-car crash in Tinton Falls Thursday evening, Acting Monmouth County Prosecutor Lori Linskey said Friday.

His identity has not been released by authorities as yet, pending notification of the family.

The crash occurred shortly after 7 p.m. Thursday at the intersection of Shafto Road (County Route 547) and Asbury Avenue (County Road 16), according to the prosecutor. At that location, first responders located the two cars involved in the collision, a 2021 Audi S6 driven by the Manalapan man, and a 2005 Ford Freestyle driven by a 52-year-old Brick woman.

The Brick woman was pronounced dead at the scene, and the Manalapan man was transported to Jersey Shore University Medical Center in Neptune, where he succumbed to his injuries a short while later, the prosecutor said.

There were no passengers in either vehicle, and the identities of the drivers are being temporarily withheld pending family notification.

Anyone who may have witnessed the collision or has any information about it is urged to contact MCPO Detective Brian Boryszewski at 800-533-7443 or Tinton Falls Police Department Corporal David Ebert at 732-542-4422.
