UPDATE: State Police Identify Two Killed After SUV Hits Calloway's Restaurant In Eagleswood

Two people died and two others were seriously injured when a GMC Acadia struck the southeast corner of Calloway's Restaurant in Eagleswood on Wednesday afternoon, a spokesman for the Ocean County Prosecutor's Office said.

The driver of the SUV, Patti Rulon, 54, West Lakeshore Drive, Manahawkin, was heading north on Route 9 at 3 p.m. when she suddenly lost consciousness and slumped over the steering wheel with her foot still on the accelerator, said spokesman Al Della Fave.

The SUV veered into the southbound lane, went up a bank of shrubs and bushes and struck the southeast corner of the restaurant, he said.

There was substantial damage to the front of the SUV. Rulon was pronounced dead at the scene via telemetry by a physician from Newark Beth Israel Hospital, Della Fave said.

The passenger in the front seat - Albert Rulon, 91, of North Green Street, Tuckerton - was flown to Atlanticare Medical Center with multiple injuries, but died on the way to the hospital, Della Fave said.

The rear passenger side occupant - Juliette Adomaa, 44, Tuckerton - was partially ejected through the windshield from the backseat. She was taken to the hospital with shoulder and head injuries but is in stable condition at this time, he said.

The rear driver's side occupant, a 15-year-old male, was flown to Jersey Shore Medical Center for possible broken ribs and internal injuries. He is in stable condition.

All of the SUV's occupants were related, except for Adomaa, who was Mr. Rulon's caregiver, Della Fave said.
