At least three people were killed by felled trees overnight Thursday as violent storms ripped through central New Jersey.
A pair of men, ages 25 and 79, were driving through Plainfield when a tree crushed their vehicle, taking numerous power lines down with it sometime between 6 and 7 p.m., officials said.
In North Plainfield, a driver pulled over on Greenbrook Road to wait out the storm and was killed when a large tree fell on top of her car, according to the city’s mayor.
