MONROE TWP., NJ -
A Millville woman died in a Winslow Road crash Monday that was reportedly caused when a tire fell off of a Ford Explorer.
Monroe Township police arrived to the crash scene at 2:30 p.m. Monday where a Ford Explorer carrying a 4-year-old was on its side and the driver of a Hyundai Elantra was trapped inside the car, the police department reported Tuesday.
Police determined the Ford Explorer driven by Pleasantville man Keith Lewis crossed the center line and began to spin, striking the Hyundai. The left rear tire had allegedly fallen off the Explorer causing the vehicle to spin out of control, police said.
Lewis and the 4-year-old were taken to Jefferson Hospital in Washington Township.
The driver of the Hyundai — Millville man Donald McKnight, 65 — was trapped inside the car. Rescue crews had to cut him out of the car, police said. He was also taken to Jefferson Hospital, police said.
His passenger — Jeanne Adair, 65, also of Millville — was critically injured. She died at the hospital, police said.
