Six people were killed in a fiery car accident Friday night on Raymond Boulevard in Newark, according to the Essex County Prosecutor’s Office.
They say the vehicle was traveling toward Route 1-9 southbound on-ramp when it somehow went off the roadway, became airborne, struck a support column for the Pulaski Skyway and landed on the ground.
Upon landing, the vehicle caught fire.
No other details about the crash or the victims have been released. Authorities say it is still an active investigation.
The Essex County Prosecutor's Office will hold a press conference Monday afternoon to provide an update on the investigation into the crash.
