Colts Neck Man Involved In Fatal Route 9 Crash: Police

COLTS NECK, NJ — A Colts Neck man was involved in the multi-car collision on Route 9, which killed a Lakewood resident and injured three others, according to Lakewood police.

Oliver Vasquez, 36, of Lakewood died of injuries he suffered in the crash that happened shortly before 9 p.m. Saturday, Lakewood Capt. Gregory Staffordsmith said.

Matthew Sebolt, 38, of Colts Neck, was driving a 2006 Ford F-350, and driving north on Route 8 when he sideswiped a 2010 Honda Accord driven by Moshe Mashitz, 34. Mashitz was northbound on Route 9 and was trying to turn left onto 9th Street at the time, Staffordsmith said.

After sideswiping the Honda, Sebolt crossed into the southbound lane of Route 9 and hit the driver's side of the Explorer, Staffordsmith said. The driver of the Explorer ran from the crash before police arrived, but Vasquez and three other passengers remained and all were injured.

The other three passengers were identified as Omar Zamorano, 29; Aaron Morales, 54, and Jose Oliver Dominguez Calvo, 33. Staffordsmith said Zamorano and Morales were taken to Jersey Shore University Medical Center, Neptune, for treatment, and Calvo and Vasquez were taken to Monmouth Medical Center Southern Campus, where Vasquez was pronounced dead shortly after 9:30 p.m.

Information on the conditions of the three injured men was not available.

Lakewood police, the Ocean County Prosecutor's Office and the Ocean County Sherriff's Office CSI Unit are investigating.

“At this time no charges or summonses have been issued,” Staffordsmith said.
