A Saturday night crash along Route 9 has left two young men dead, the Monmouth County Prosecutor s Office announced on Sunday.
Manalapan Police responded around 9:30 p.m. to a single vehicle crash on Route 9, just south of Smallwood Lane.
A 2004 Infiniti G35 was being driven northbound by Jonathan Ramirez, with Justin Rochford as his only passenger, when Ramirez lost control and left the roadway, police said.
Both men were 20-year-old Spotswood residents.
The car hit a curb, utility pole and a guard rail before it landed in a wooded area about 100 yards away, according to the prosecutor s office.
