How they died
Pursuit
Bridgeton Police Department were looking for a Lincoln Continental involved in a crash earlier that evening where the car struck a police officer and drove off, according to police. A New Jersey State Police trooper tried to stop the Lincoln, but the car did not stop, which led to a short pursuit. The pursuit ended when the trooper lost sight of the Lincoln. Bridgeton police reported to State Police a short time later that the car was found crashed into a utility pole on Route 49 east near milepost 25.7. Police said the driver was traveling fast and attempting to turn when it ran off the road and slammed into the utility pole.
