Woodbridge, NJ – A Barnegat woman was killed early Thursday morning after her vehicle struck a highway divider along the northbound lanes of Route 9 in Woodbridge, New Jersey State Police said.
According to Trooper II Christopher Postorino, the crash occurred at approximately 3:35 a.m. near milepost 127.9 when a Chevrolet SUV driven by Tiara Muhammad veered into the bullnose divider separating the northbound local and express lanes.
