Woman killed, two girls injured after car drives into Lakewood food pantry

LAKEWOOD, NJ – A vehicle smashed into the St. Vincent De Paul’s Food Pantry at St. Mary of the Lake Church in downtown Lakewood Saturday morning.

At around 10:30 am, a vehicle drove through the parking lot striking and killing Dilcia Maribell Guevara-Tabora, 46, and injured two young girls, ages 13 and 12.

The driver, Abelino Landaverde-Ayala, mistakenly put his 2005 Dodge Caravan into forward while attempting to back out of the lot, striking the victims. The two girls were not related to the deceased woman, according to officials.

The 13-year-old girl was transported the hospital for treatment of a broken jaw and lacerations.

The driver was issued a careless driving ticket and may face future charges.
