Tourist from Japan killed in three-vehicle crash
A three-vehicle accident near the Delaware Memorial Bridge yesterday killed a female tourist, seriously injured another, and sent three other people to local hospitals, police said.
An Econoline van had crossed the bridge near Carneys Point in Salem County shortly before 1 p.m. when a Mitsubishi Eclipse clipped the van's left rear fender.
The van spun out of control, and careened over a barrier on the ramp to Route 40. The van - carrying four Japanese tourists and a woman from San Francisco - then rolled several times down an embankment and into the path of a Ford pickup truck, said Sgt. Stephen Jones, spokesman for the state police.
A woman from Osaka, Japan, who was not identified pending notification of her family, was ejected from the van and died at the scene. The four other van passengers were being treated last night for non-life-threatening injuries. No other injuries were reported, Jones said.
the people in the van were from DMBQ, touring the states now. i haven't seen anyone mention them on this board before, but thought this warranted mentioning. the woman who was killed was apparently mana "china" nishiura, who used to drum with shonen knife.
