COLONIA – A Colonia High School sophomore was killed in a single-car crash on Route 9 in Woodbridge last Thursday night.
Jennifer Metzger, 16, was pronounced dead at 9:17 p.m. at the accident scene, authorities said. She was a passenger in a 1997 Ford Explorer driven by Allen McGovern, 18, of Rahway, police said.
Another 16-year-old girl who was a passenger in the car was also seriously injured and was flown to Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in New Brunswick.
The teens had just left a local bowling alley and were headed to a Wendy’s restaurant, according to Jennifer’s father, Alan Metzger.
Authorities were still investigating the accident, but there were no indications that alcohol or drugs were involved.
