Seaside Park Man's Family Seeks Answers A Week After Fatal Crash

TOMS RIVER, NJ — As the family of a Seaside Park man prepares for a memorial service to honor him, they are still seeking answers about the fatal crash where he died a week ago.

William D. Woloszyn, 57, of Seaside Park, was killed in the March 7 crash on the southbound lanes of the Garden State Parkway, New Jersey State Trooper Charles Marchan confirmed to Patch on Wednesday.

State police have released few details about the crash, which happened about 8:15 a.m. at milemarker 81.6. Woloszyn's silver Toyota Corolla collided with a truck driven by Edward Hawks of Bayville, Marchan told the Asbury Park Press.

Woloszyn was pronounced dead at 10:15 a.m.

A member of Woloszyn's family who contacted Patch said they still have not received an explanation of what led to the crash. A report by Timesquare Media's WOBM and NJ 101.5 said the crash happened shortly aftera ladder that apparently had fallen off a truck was removed from the Parkway travel lanes by an officer with the Ocean County sheriff's office.

Marchan would not confirm those details on Wednesday, saying only that the cause of the crash remains under investigation.

"It's so hard to believe," the family member said.
