Authorities say a single-car crash over
the weekend on Route 9 claimed the lives of two 20-year-old men.
According to the Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office, the Spotswood men were
driving north Saturday night when the car hit a curb, a utility pole and a
guardrail, ending up in a wooded area.
Manalapan Township police responded to the
scene around 9:30 p.m. Prosecutors say Justin Rochford was pronounced dead at
the scene, and Jonathan Ramirez was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced
dead.
