NJ Woman Dies in Head-On Collision Between Pickup Truck and Van

A New Jersey woman was killed in a head-on collision in Washington Township, Gloucester County Monday afternoon.

Lizzette Nazario, 36, of Blackwood, New Jersey was a passenger in a Chevy van heading southbound on Fries Mill Road in Washington Township around 1:15 p.m. A Dodge Ram pickup truck heading north on Fries Mill, crossed into the oncoming lane and the two vehicles crashed head-on. Nazario was pronounced deceased at the crash site. The driver of the pickup truck and the driver of the van sustained non-life-threatening injuries and were transported to Kennedy University Hospital.

Why every fatality from a crash is not legally a wrongful death

After someone dies in a motor-vehicle accident, grieving family members and friends are often left with many questions. What caused the accident? Could it have been avoided? What do they do now that their loved one is gone?

Sometimes a fatal collision happens through no one's fault. Crashes caused by weather and road conditions, or by wildlife in the roadway, are examples. But when a fatal crash is caused by negligence, then family members should pursue a wrongful death claim, to uphold the victim's rights and begin the financial recovery process.
