On 10/09/2021, Angel Acevedo Jr. was driving a Toyota Corolla near the Garden State Parkway North at Asbury Ave in the Asbury Park area of New Jersey when his vehicle was struck by a pickup truck driven by an off-duty police officer who was en route to work.

Acevedo and his wife, Daniela Correia Salles, were both pronounced dead at the scene. The Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office charged the off-duty officer with two counts of second-degree vehicular homicide in connection with the crash. Authorities also cited the driver for reckless driving, failure to maintain lanes, failure to wear a seatbelt, and having an open container of alcohol in the vehicle.
