UPDATE: The preliminary investigation shows that the car Rojek was driving was traveling southbound in the northbound lane when the accident occurred, according to the Somerset County Prosecutor’s Office.
A 51-year-old Somerset woman was killed October 19 as the result of a two-car collision at Easton Avenue and Cedar Grove Lane, police said.
Police said Michele Rojek, who was driving a 2019 Honda Civic, was transported to a local hospital, where she was pronounced dead.
The driver of the second car, a 2023 Toyota Tundra, 37-year-old Piscataway resident Joshua Creed, was not injured, police said.
Police received a 9-1-1 call reporting the accident at about 7:43 a.m., according to a press release from the Franklin Township Police Department.
There were no passengers in either car, police said.
Police said that contrary to rumors on social media, the accident was not the result of one car making a left turn from a shopping center onto Easton Avenue. Both cars were traveling on Easton Avenue.
The Somerset County Prosecutor’s Office Collision Analysis Reconstruction Team and the Franklin Township Police Department’s Traffic Safety Bureau are investigating the accident.
Anyone with information about this incident is asked to contact Officer Ryan Ellington at (732) 873-5533, extension 3174, or via email at ryan.ellington@franklinnj.gov.
