HAMILTON(Atlantic) — Two people were killed in a head-on collision with a stolen vehicle on Saturday morning.
Atlantic County Prosecutor William Reynolds says an investigation determined that the stolen vehicle caused the crash on Route 50 at Third Street in the Mays Landing section of Hamilton Township, in front of a Delta gas station, around 7:30 a.m.
An adult and three juveniles face charges. The charges and the circumstances of the theft have not been disclosed, but Reynolds repeated the message to lock vehicles at night and store key fobs inside a home.
The identities of those involved in the crash and the charges have not been disclosed.

A video of the crash shows an SUV with heavy front-end damage in the middle of the street. The other vehicle came to rest in front of the pumps at the gas station. It’s not clear which is the stolen vehicle.
Unnamed law enforcement sources told NBC Philadelphia the vehicle had been stolen 16 miles away in Longport and was pursued by Hamilton police for a brief time before it was broken off. First responders arrived quickly to free the occupants of both vehicles, witnesses told NBC Philadelphia.
The identities of the two people killed have not been released, pending notification of their families. The identities of the four people facing charges also have not been released.
The Attorney General’s Office of Public Integrity and Accountability is also conducting an investigation but did not disclose a specific reason. State law requires the Attorney General’s Office to investigate deaths that occur during an encounter with an on-duty law enforcement officer.
