The following comes from the Mantua Township Police Department.
On Nov. 15 at 6:15 p.m., the Mantua Township Police were dispatched to Lambs Road at the intersection of Spruce Street for a report of a two-vehicle crash.
First arriving units found a 2009 Nissan Altima on the front lawn of Bright Beginnings School and a 1999 Ford F-250 parked on Lambs Road in front of the school. The driver of the Altima, Dr. Michael Robinson, had come out of Spruce Street and was struck by the driver of the F-250 pickup, Jesse Romano. The impact of the crash pushed the Altima onto the front lawn.
Dr. Michael Robinson, 52, of Mullica Hill, was pronounced dead on the scene of the crash. The other driver, Jesse Romano, 34, of Mullica Hill, was uninjured in the crash.

The crash is being investigated by Ptl. Hauss and Ptl. Lipsett of the Mantua Township Police Department Crash Investigation Unit.
