MONROE — A 30-year-old Iselin woman died July 25 after sustaining injuries in a three-car accident on Spotswood-Englishtown Road.
Christina H. Bettinger was pronounced dead after being transported to Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in New Brunswick following the 4:40 p.m. accident, according to Monroe police.
The accident initially involved two other vehicles, police said.
William E. Grischuk, 18, of Millstone, was driving a 2001 Ford F250 northbound on Spotswood-Englishtown Road when it struck the rear of a 2005 Nissan Altima that was stopped in the northbound lane, waiting to turn left onto Norma Street, according to police.
