Head-on crash leaves New Jersey trooper, another man dead

"It is with great sadness today that Colonel Rick Fuentes, Superintendent of the New Jersey State Police announces the tragic loss of Trooper Frankie Williams #7953, who was killed yesterday in an on-duty crash on State Highway 55 in Millville City", the State Police said in a statement.

MILLVILLE, N.J. A recently married rookie state trooper responding to a call for help was killed in a violent wreck on a highway when a auto traveling in the opposite direction crossed a grassy median and slammed into his cruiser head-on, authorities said.

The Corolla driver, who has not yet been identified, was pronounced dead at the scene.

It is not known yet why the driver veered into the wrong lanes.

Williams had just recently graduated from the training academy on January 29, and was a member of the 156th State Police Class in New Jersey. The driver of the other auto also was killed.

A New Jersey state trooper was killed when a auto travelling along the opposite lane lost control, crossed the central median and smashed into his vehicle. The cause of the crash remains under investigation. The trooper saw the dog was lying on its side inside a crate and in obvious distress from heat stroke, state police said.

Trooper Williams was the third South Jersey trooper killed on the job in the past year.

State police said it received a report of a dog, a toy poodle, locked in a Mercedes-Benz at a thrift store in Pilesgrove Township, Salem County. He smashed a window to get the dog out of the vehicle.

A 31-year-old man was killed in April when his pickup truck flipped on Route 55, police said.
