A South Jersey woman was killed when three vehicles collided Sunday at a Salem County intersection, according to the New Jersey State Police.

A Toyota was traveling north on Fork Bridge Road in Upper Pittsgrove Township shortly before 5 p.m. when the car collided with a Nissan traveling east on Route 40, a police spokesman said.

The Nissan then struck a Honda pickup truck traveling west on Route 40.

Barbara Carman, 72, of Buena, a passenger in the Nissan, died of her injuries, police said. The drivers of the three vehicles and a passenger in the Honda suffered minor to moderate injuries.

No charges have been filed as of Monday afternoon, and the crash remains under investigation.

While a cause for the crash has not been revealed, it was raining at the time, police confirmed.
