Early Sunday morning, a devastating car accident on Interstate 195 in Upper Freehold claimed the lives of two young Mercer County residents, marking the second double-fatal crash in the area in just a few days. Denzel George, 20, of Ewing, and Janae Boisseau, 20, of Trenton, were tragically killed when the car they were in veered off the road and struck two trees.
New Jersey State Police responded to the scene shortly after 3 a.m. following reports of the crash on the eastbound side of the highway. According to a preliminary investigation, the Acura they were traveling in ran off the road to the right, hitting the trees with such force that both occupants were ejected from the vehicle. Sadly, they sustained fatal injuries and were pronounced dead at the scene.
The crash remains under investigation, and authorities have not yet released further details about what caused the vehicle to leave the roadway. The loss of two young lives has left the community in mourning, as friends and family grapple with the sudden and heartbreaking tragedy.
This incident follows another double-fatal crash that occurred just two days earlier on Friday night in Toms River. In that case, a juvenile suspect is in custody after allegedly fleeing police at speeds reaching 118 miles per hour. The chase ended when the suspect’s vehicle crashed into another car on Route 37, killing two people inside. The juvenile now faces charges in connection with their deaths.
The back-to-back tragedies have shaken the region, highlighting the devastating consequences of reckless driving and the fragility of life. Both crashes serve as stark reminders of the importance of road safety and the need for vigilance behind the wheel.
As the community mourns the loss of Denzel George and Janae Boisseau, their families and loved ones are left to navigate the unimaginable pain of their absence. The impact of their lives, though cut short, will undoubtedly be felt by those who knew and loved them.
Our hearts go out to the families and friends of the victims during this incredibly difficult time. May their memories be a source of comfort and strength as the community comes together to heal from these heartbreaking losses.
