Authorities: Child, 2 adults killed in 3-car crash in Newark
Authorities say that a crash in Newark Sunday evening killed an 11-year-old girl and two adults and left five other people injured.
Essex County prosecutors say the crash occurred around 7 p.m. Sunday in the area of Central Avenue and Broad Street. One vehicle struck another, causing the latter car to collide with a third vehicle.
Authorities say 35-year-old Rosa Lojalema, who was driving the first vehicle, and two of her passengers - 77-year-old Elba Galarza, of Glen Ridge, and 11-year-old Clarise Pizcha - all died from their injuries.
The cause of the crash remains under investigation, and no charges have been filed so far.
