2h agoA driver involved in Friday's overnight crash in Toms River that killed
three people has been identified.
Police and EMS units were dispatched around 12:25 a.m. to a serious
motor vehicle accident at the intersection of Lakehurst Road and Hospital
Drive.
The initial investigation revealed Tina Dung, 21, of Maryland, was
stopped for the traffic light before she proceeded through the red signal and
collided with a Legacy Towing flatbed wrecker heading east on Lakehurst Road.
The three passengers in Dung’s car, all citizens of China, were killed
as a result of the collision. The 54-year-old male, 52-year-old female and a
23-year-old male were all from same family.
Neither driver showed signs of impairment. Dung sustained minor injuries
as a result of the accident. She received a citation for failure to observe a
traffic signal.
Neither the driver nor passenger of the tow truck were injured. The
roadway was shut down for a time as police investigated. It has since been
reopened.
The crash remains under investigation by Toms River Police Traffic
Safety Officers, Corporal Terry Warren and Michael Cassidy, and the Ocean
County Prosecutors Office.
