On Tuesday, June 4 at about 11 a.m., members of the Vineland Police Department’s Traffic Safety Unit were dispatched to the area of Union Road / Mayslanding Road about a two-vehicle crash with life-threatening injuries.
The crash involved a 2024 Ford F-250 Pickup truck driven by William E. Schafer, 81, of Millville, and a 2010 Toyota Yaris driven by John A. Mahoney, 23, of Sewell, which was also occupied by the front seat passenger, Patrick J. Mahoney, 23, also of Sewell.
Both Sewell men were killed in the crash, police said.
The Mahoneys were brothers, police said.
The preliminary investigation revealed the pickup truck was traveling westbound on Mayslanding Road towards the intersection with Union Road when the Toyota crossed into the path of the Ford pickup truck, when the Yaris failed to stop/yield and both vehicles collided, police said.
Schafer was airlifted to Cooper University Hospital for precautionary reasons and is listed in stable condition.
No charges have been filed, and the investigation is still ongoing.
