She died on impact. Her father-in-law, Albert Rulon, 91, of Tuckerton, died while being rushed to Atlanticare Trauma Center in Atlantic City.

Authorities said that his caretaker, Juliette Adomaa, 44, also of Tuckerton, seated in the rear of the cabin, was partly catapulted from the SUV and sustained shoulder and head injuries. Rulon's son Charles, 15, was rushed to Jersey Shore University Medical Center in Neptunewith possible broken ribs and internal injuries. Both remain in stable condition, officials said.

Heartbroken members of the Rulon family organized a crowdfunding page through GoFundMe to assist in their expenses. They set a goal of $5,000.
