Fifteen-year-old Kassidy Bush was pronounced dead at the scene
Burlington County Prosecutor Scott Coffina announced today that the passenger who was killed yesterday morning in a collision on Route 130 in Cinnaminson has been identified as a 15-year-old Palmyra High School student.
Kassidy Bush was pronounced dead at the scene after the car in which she was riding crashed into the back of a tractor-trailer near the intersection with Riverton Road. Counselors are on site today at Palmyra High School to assist students and members of the staff.
The investigation by the Burlington County Prosecutor’s Office is ongoing. No charges have been filed at this point against the driver, whose name is being withheld because he is a juvenile. He remains at Cooper University Hospital in Camden in critical but stable condition.
The driver of the tractor-trailer was not injured.
The preliminary investigation revealed that the vehicle was traveling at a high rate of speed when it crashed into the rear of the tractor-trailer. The car had been previously reported as stolen out of Cinnaminson. Cinnaminson police had attempted to execute a traffic stop on the vehicle moments earlier, but the driver accelerated instead of pulling over.
