Woman Shot 3 Times, Found In Car On I-78, State Police Seek Help

GREENWICH, NJ — State Police are asking the public for help after a woman was found shot three times inside her car early Tuesday morning on I-78 near the Pennsylvania border.

Just before 6 a.m. a passerby called police about a car that appeared to have been in an accident and was disabled on I-78 east near exit 6 in Greenwich Township in Warren County, State Police Trooper Alejandro Goez said.

When troopers from Troop “B” Perryville Station arrived they found a woman who was conscious and alert inside her vehicle, Goez said.

The woman had three gunshot wounds to her head, hand, and chest. She was treated at the scene before being taken to an area hospital where she was last listed in stable condition, Goez said.

"Detectives believe that the shooting may have been the result of an incident that occurred between the victim and the unknown suspect motorist on Interstate 78 east between Exit 75 (Morgan Hill Road) in Easton, PA and Exit 6 in New Jersey," Goez said.

A white man wearing dark clothing was reportedly at the scene in Greenwich Township just before fleeing in a dark-colored sedan, Goez said.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the New Jersey State Police Perryville Station at 908-730-7042. Anonymous tips are welcome.
