Juvenile Charged Following Fatal Toms River Crash Killing Two

A minor has been charged with multiple offenses, including aggravated manslaughter, following a high-speed crash in Toms River on March 7 that resulted in two fatalities and critical injuries to two others. The crash involved a speeding BMW that collided with a Toyota Camry at the intersection of Routes 37 and 166, shortly after police observed the BMW traveling at speeds exceeding 118 mph. Despite attempts by Toms River police to stop the vehicle, the pursuit was called off due to safety concerns, only for the driver to crash minutes later. Both the driver and front-seat passenger of the Camry were pronounced dead at the scene, while two backseat passengers were critically injured. The unlicensed minor who was driving the BMW was unharmed and is currently held at Ocean County Juvenile Detention Center. Authorities are continuing their investigation into the incident.
