BELLEVILLE –
Authorities last week identified the second person killed in a fiery multi-vehicle crash on Rt. 21 on Nov. 3 as Terrence Morris, 26, of Newark.
According to the Essex County Prosecutor’s Office, Morris was the driver of a Chevy Cavalier that collided with a tractor-trailer in the southbound lanes in Belleville. Both Morris and his passenger, Jonathan Fontenot, also a 26-year-old Newark resident, were pronounced dead at the scene.
