Hi Ms. Mitch,
I did not receive anything further yesterday on my request for fatal crash reports and charges.
Yours sincerely,
Charlie Kratovil
Good Afternoon Mr. Kratovil,
Enclosed please find documents responsive to your request. Police Records
advises that no criminal complaints were issued as a result of these
accidents. There was a third fatal accident in 2024, however the draft
crash report has not been finalized by the Police Department and the
investigation is ongoing. As such the draft report is exempted from
release pursuant to N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1.1, specifically under the
“inter-agency or intra-agency advisory, consultative, or deliberative
[(ACD)] material” exemption. See Ciesla v. N.J. Dep’t of Health & Senior
Serv., et als, 429 N.J. Super. 127 (App. Div. 2012).
Your request is now closed.
Thank you,
Kelly Mitch
Deputy Township Clerk
