2 Toms River Men Killed In Parkway Crash

WALL, NJ — Two Toms River men were killed Sunday in a two-vehicle crash on the Garden State Parkway in Wall, New Jersey State Police said.

Jerome Digiovanni, 75, and Ronald Devingo, 57, died at the scene of the crash at milepost 97.7 northbound on the Parkway, which was reported at 1:31 p.m., Sgt. Alejandro Goes said Monday.

Digiovanni was driving a Chevrolet Equinox that was stopped partly on the right shoulder, partly in the right travel lane of the Parkway, Goes said.

Devingo was standing on the left side of the Equinox, in the travel lane, when he and the Equinox were hit by the right side of a Jeep Wrangler driven by Christopher Mulholland, 24, of Belmar, he said.

State police did not say where Digiovanni was at the time of the impact, but said the driver's side of the Equinox was hit, and that the force of the impact killed both men.

Mulholland suffered minor injuries, Goes said.

The crash remains under investigation, he said.
