ROXBURY TOWNSHIP, NJ (Morris County) – A 25-year-old woman died Tuesday morning after her car collided with a tractor-trailer on Route 46 in Roxbury Township, according to Morris County Prosecutor Robert J. Carroll.
The crash happened on March 15, at around 8:30 a.m., in the area of Route 46 and Phillips Way, Carroll said.
