A 19-year-old woman was killed when the vehicle she was riding in veered off the road into a bank of trees alongside the Garden State Parkway in Lacey Township Tuesday night.
According to NJ State Police, troopers were called to the scene at 8:22 p.m. for reports of a crash. Police said that, based on an investigation, Emme N. Forker, 19, of Haddon Township, was a front-seat passenger in a Honda. When the vehicle reached the area of milepost 75.7, the driver “lost directional control of the vehicle,” police said in a statement.
