High Schooler, Recent Grad Both Killed In South Jersey Crash: Officials

GLASSBORO, NJ — State Police have identified two teens killed in a Gloucester County crash that also injured a woman and four kids on Sunday.

Brendan Cary and Dominic Reyes — both 19-year-old Franklinville residents — died in the three-vehicle crash that happened Sunday afternoon on Route 55 in Glassboro, police said.

Cary was a student at Franklinville's Delsea Regional High School, and Reyes was a recent graduate, according to the Delsea Regional School District's superintendent.

"Our school family is heartbroken, and our thoughts are with their families, friends, and all who knew and loved them," Superintendent Fran Ciociola wrote to the school community. "We also recognize that this accident has impacted families beyond our school community, and our hearts go out to everyone affected."

The crash happened at 4:17 p.m. on Route 55 North, said Sgt. Charles Marchan, a State Police spokesperson.

The right-front corner of Cary's vehicle hit the left-back corner of a Honda CRV, which was in the right lane, Marchan said.

As a result, Cary lost directional control and crossed into the shoulder, where he hit a disabled Dodge minivan that then overturned, Marchan said.

A 17-year-old in Cary's vehicle and the minivan driver sustained "serious" injuries, Marchan said. Their conditions were unclear as of Monday morning.

Three juveniles in the Dodge had minor injuries.

It's unclear what caused the crash, which remains under investigation.
