Lori Pelosi, 53, died at Southern Ocean Medical Center in Manahawkin Wednesday afternoon, less than an hour after police responded to the collision at 3:40 PM, according to the office of Ocean County Prosecutor Joseph D. Coronato.

Investigators said that Pelosi was southbound on Barnegat Avenue, heading toward the highway.

As her 2008 Chrysler PT Cruiser entered the intersection, it was hit on the driver's side by a Ford F-350 pickup headed west on Route 72, driven by Todd Parillo, 49, of Little Egg Harbor, authorities said.

Despite a seat restraint, Pelosi sustained serious injuries and was pronounced dead at 4:30 PM. Parillo emerged without injury and declined medical attention.
