The crash at about 3 p.m. on Route 9 near North Maple Avenue killed Raymond Gillick, 95, said Ralph Stocco, spokesman for the Toms River Police Department.

Gillick was driving south on Route 9 in a 2011 Hyundai Sonata when his car crossed into the oncoming lane and hit a northbound 2012 Hyundai Sonata that was being driven by Taneka Pearson, 38, of Toms River, Stocco said. Pearson was unable to avoid the collision, he said.
