(NEWARK, N.J.) — Authorities reported that six individuals in a vehicle lost their lives after the car veered off an elevated road in Newark, New Jersey, on Friday evening.

The collision occurred at approximately 10:47 p.m. at the junction of Raymond Boulevard and Blanchard Street, where the vehicle was navigating a southbound on-ramp, according to the Essex County Prosecutor’s office.

“While traversing the ramp, the vehicle unexpectedly left the roadway, became airborne, and collided with a support column for the Pulaski Skyway prior to hitting the ground. Once it landed, the vehicle ignited,” the prosecutor’s office stated.

The identities of the six individuals who perished have not yet been disclosed.

The inquiry into the accident remains active.
