BEDMINSTER TOWNSHIP, N.J. (Somerset County) — A 37-year-old Princeton woman died following a multi-vehicle crash on Interstate 78 eastbound in Bedminster Township that also left two other people injured, according to New Jersey State Police.
Troopers responded to the crash at approximately 1:04 a.m. at milepost 27.8, according to State Police spokesman Trooper II Christopher Postorino.
A preliminary investigation determined that Keisha P. Bruno, 37, of Princeton, was driving a Kia SUV with a front-seat passenger when the vehicle was involved in a crash with a Volkswagen passenger vehicle in the eastbound lanes of I-78.
Following the initial collision, the Kia became disabled in a travel lane. Police said a Volkswagen SUV traveling eastbound approached the disabled vehicles and struck the Kia, pushing it off the left side of the roadway, where it overturned.
Bruno sustained serious injuries and was transported to an area hospital, where she later died from her injuries, Postorino said.
The driver of the Volkswagen SUV sustained moderate injuries, while the passenger in Bruno’s Kia suffered minor injuries. Both were transported to an area hospital for treatment.
The crash remains under investigation by New Jersey State Police. No additional information was immediately available.
