[NO RECIRC]

Another fatal accident has happened on a dangerous N.J. road where at least 4 people - including a former Miss New Jersey - were killed in 2016.

At least one person is reported dead after a vehicle overturned on Route 55 in South Jersey early Sunday, according to Fox29.

The northbound lanes of the road in the Millville area were closed while state transportation officials were sending crews to the scene, according to police. At least one person was ejected from the vehicle.

An investigation is ongoing, according to Fox29.

Route 55 is notoriously dangerous road, and these fatal accidents have happened this year:

• Cara McCollum, a 24-year-old news anchor for SNJ Today and a former Miss N.J., died earlier this year after her car ran off northbound Route 55 and hit several trees in Pittsgrove, said New Jersey State Police.
• A woman died in January in Gloucester County in a crash on Route 55 northbound at mile marker 47, police said.
• A prisoner transport van crashed into a truck on Route 55 in January, killing one inmate and injuring three other people, New Jersey State Police said.
• A 31-year-old man was killed in April when his pickup truck flipped on Route 55, police said.
