Township police are continuing to investigate the circumstances of an accident Sunday that claimed the life of a Toms River woman.<\/p>\n

The 5:49 p.m. accident at\u00a0the intersection of Hooper Avenue and Terrace Avenue resulted in the death of\u00a0Manuela Morales-Torres, 60, of Walnut Street, who was crossing the intersection.<\/p>\n

Police said\u00a0Rosemary Goebel, 76, of Northstream Drive in Toms River, was driving a 2016 Chevrolet Equinox east on Terrace Avenue when she made a left turn through a green light to go northbound on Hooper Avenue. She then struck a man and woman who were crossing Hooper Avenue in an easterly direction, according to police spokesman Ralph Stocco.<\/p>\n

Morales-Torres died in the crash, while a 62-year-old male companion of hers\u00a0is currently being treated at a local hospital for several injuries. It is not yet known if the two pedestrians were in a crosswalk when they were struck, Stocco said.<\/p>\n

Toms River Traffic Safety Officers Robert Westfall and Brian Doyle are conducting the investigation along with members of the Ocean County Prosecutor\u2019s office and Ocean County Sheriff\u2019s Department CSI Division.<\/p>\n
