Girl Killed In Egg Harbor Township Car Crash

EGG HARBOR TOWNSHIP, NJ — A girl died from her injuries following a head-on car crash Friday in Egg Harbor Township. Officials airlifted her to Cooper University Hospital in Camden, where she succumbed to her injuries.

Egg Harbor Township police did not publicly release the child's age or identity. The crash took place at about 5:30 p.m. Friday on Delilah Road around Elmwood Avenue.

A Galloway driver traveling west on Delilah Road crossed into the eastbound lane for an unknown reason, police said. A witness, driving eastbound, turned right to avoid an accident. But a Vineland woman driving behind the witness wasn't able to avoid the car, and her vehicle was struck head-on, police said.

The Vineland woman had a woman and a girl in her vehicle. Authorities extricated them from the car and took them to AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center's Atlantic City Campus. The girl was then airlifted to Cooper Medical Center, where she died from her injuries.

Authorities closed Delilah Road in both directions for about four hours to investigate and clear the scene. Anyone who has information related to or witnessed witnessed the crash can contact the Egg Harbor Township Police Department Traffic Safety Unit at 609-926-2643.
