Old Bridge, NJ (November 9, 2026) – Two passengers died, and three other people were seriously injured in a two-SUV crash on Route 9 in Old Bridge early Saturday morning, November 7.
According to the Middlesex County Prosecutor’s Office, the crash occurred on the southbound side of Route 9 at approximately 12:01 a.m. Two passengers seated in the back of an SUV were pronounced dead at the scene.
The first SUV was reportedly leaving the Grand Marquis venue when its driver attempted to turn left onto Route 9. A second SUV then struck the driver's side of the first vehicle.
The driver of the first SUV, its front-seat passenger, and the driver of the second SUV were taken to Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital with serious injuries.
The Middlesex County Prosecutor’s Office is investigating the fatal crash.
Our condolences go out to the families of those who lost their lives, and we wish those injured a full recovery.
Losing a loved one in a fatal crash can leave families facing emotional hardship and unexpected expenses. Relatives may need to obtain official records, arrange funeral services, and address outstanding costs. Keeping copies of bills and related documents can help track these expenses.
Obtaining the official crash report may provide details about the vehicles, drivers, and circumstances involved. Medical records, witness accounts, photographs, and other evidence may also help establish how the crash occurred and support a potential wrongful death claim.
Under New Jersey law, certain surviving family members may pursue a wrongful death claim through the estate's representative. Recoverable damages may include funeral expenses, lost financial support, and the value of services the deceased provided to the household. Eligibility and damages depend on the family relationship and case circumstances.
Lastly, it is important to know that New Jersey generally imposes a two-year deadline for filing a wrongful death lawsuit, though exceptions may apply.
