🔥 A tanker was rear-ended by a sedan after pulling onto Route 22
🔥 The impact fused the tanker and sedan
🔥 A Bridgewater police officer on patrol pulled the car driver out

A Bridgewater police officer is being hailed a hero after dragging an unconscious driver out of a burning car that crunched into a tanker truck early Wednesday morning.

The truck pulling onto Route 22 west from a Speedway gas station near Thompson Avenue was rear-ended by a Hyundai Elantra around 2:10 a.m., according to Bridgewater police safety officer Joseph Greco. The tanker and car caught fire and became fused together.

The Hyundai was dragged approximately 685 feet before the driver of the tanker, Zachary J. Roslin, 33, of Freehold, brought them to a controlled stop.

Roslin told Bridgewater police officer Noah Allat, who stopped at the scene, the tanker was empty but had been carrying a load of kerosene.

Body cam footage shows that after speaking to the tanker driver, Allat ran to the Hyundai, opened the door and dragged passenger Della-Ventura out by the hood of his sweatshirt.

• As spring break approaches, the TSA warns New Jersey travelers about the dangers of using public USB charging ports at airports.
• This practice, known as “juice jacking,” can allow hackers to install malware on devices, potentially accessing sensitive information and locking users out of their phones.
• Travelers are advised to bring their own AC adapters and power bricks to safely charge devices without risking data security.

It’s something we all do, plug devices into USB power ports at airports. Most of us do not have our devices fully charged before boarding a plane and especially when we have those annoying delays at the airport. I know, you want your phone or tablet charged before boarding the plane.

There are a lot of charging stations at the airport with a USB port, either on the floor or a pole, waiting for the plane to board. But, now we have to worry about this? Now we have to worry about the charging stations. This is called juice jacking and/or port jacking?

TSA shared a warning on their Facebook page cautioning travelers against using those public ports. They explain: “Hackers can install malware at USB ports (we’ve been told that’s called “juice/port jacking”). So, when you’re at an airport do not plug your phone directly into a USB port.”

Start your day with up-to-the-minute news, traffic and weather for the Garden State.
