Levon Woods was heading east on Route 522 in Maurice River in a Kia when he struck a westbound Honda head-on around 4:15 a.m., New Jersey State Police Sgt. Charles Marchan said.
The crash happened near milepost 19.4, and left both the driver, Thomas Splinter, 57, and passenger, Nancy Orellana-Splinter, 29 — both of Mays Landing — deceased, Marchan said. Woods sustained moderate injuries.
Orellana-Splinter's sister, Kimberly, says she and Thomas married in September 2024. Her Facebook page shows she leaves behind a son.
Court records show Woods was charged with DUI, reckless driving, and unsafe lane change.
