San Vicente and Lavallette report fatal vehicle accidents

Two separate fatal traffic accidents have been reported in Argentina and the United States.

In San Vicente, Argentina, a collision involving two Volkswagen Amarok vehicles on Route 14 resulted in two deaths and five injuries. A 14-year-old driver lost control of one vehicle and struck another Amarok that was waiting to enter the highway. The crash killed the 14-year-old driver and 18-year-old Joaquín Joel Lange. Among the injured were two members of the National Gendarmerie and a 16-year-old passenger.

In Lavallette, New Jersey, a 93-year-old driver mistakenly pressed the accelerator instead of the brake while attempting to park, driving a Buick Encore into the outdoor dining area of Meg’s Grill. The accident killed 56-year-old Ursula Keating and injured seven others. The vehicle also damaged a neighboring liquor store. The restaurant has announced plans to reopen following the tragedy.
