Two Teens Killed in Motor Vehicle Crash on Dutch Road

Tragedy struck over the holiday weekend as two teenagers were killed in a motor vehicle crash Saturday evening.

Jeffrey Szatkowski, 17, of Spotswood, and Nicole Surace, 18, of Milltown, died following a single vehicle accident on Dutch Road.

Shortly before 8 p.m. on Nov. 30, a 2004 Ford Mustang driven by Szatkowski was headed south on Dutch Road near Fresh Ponds Road, when his vehicle ran off the roadway and crashed into a telephone pole, according to police. After striking the pole, the Mustang then turned over in a wooded area and collided with a tree before landing on its roof. 

Szatkowski and Surace were transported to Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in New Brunswick where both were later pronounced dead, according to police. 

Units from the Milltown Rescue Squad, East Brunswick Rescue Squad, Brookview Fire Department and Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital Paramedics responded to the scene.
