At 1230 p.m. EST, a commuter van exiting Interstate 78 in Watchung could not make the turn and crashed into a tree. A 53-year-old passenger died and four other passengers in the vehicle were injured. In Burlington County, a 74-year-old woman passenger died at 1123 a.m. EST in Westampton Township at mile marker 42 on the New Jersey Turnpike after her husband lost control of the car, spun off the road and struck a tree. In Edgewater Park, southbound lanes of U.S. Route 130 were closed through the evening because of a three vehicle crash.Specific accumulations included 3 inches in Pennsauken (Camden County), 2.5 inches in New Lisbon (Burlington County) and Camden (Camden County), 2.3 inches in Mount Laurel (Burlington County), 2.0 inches in Ewing (Mercer County), Maple Shade (Burlington County), Beach Haven (Ocean County) and West Deptford (Gloucester County), 1.5 inches in Cream Ridge (Monmouth County), Hightstown (Mercer County), and Hammonton (Atlantic County), 1.3 inches in New Brunswick (Middlesex County), 1.0 inch in Flemington (Hunterdon County) and Somerville (Somerset County), 0.5 inches in Woodstown (Salem County) and Seabrook (Cumberland County).Precipitation moved into the region ahead of a low pressure system's warm front.
