Two people were killed in a crash early Friday on the Garden State Parkway in Paramus, state police said.

Troopers responded to the crash at 2:27 a.m. on the parkway’s southbound side near milepost 163.4. According to a preliminary investigation, a Honda was traveling northbound against the flow of traffic when it collided with a southbound Toyota SUV.

The driver of the Toyota, Sunday T. Ogundare, 55, of Newark, and the driver of the Honda, Diana J. Cruz, 38, also of Newark, died from their injuries, police said.

A 20-year-old female passenger from Pompton Plains in the Toyota sustained moderate injuries and was taken to a nearby hospital.

The crash remains under investigation, and no additional information is available at this time.

Several lanes of traffic were closed during the investigation but reopened by late Friday morning.

Waymo robotaxi pulled over by Phoenix police after driving into the wrong lane
A police officer pulled over a self-driving Waymo vehicle in Phoenix after it ran a red light and pulled into a lane of oncoming traffic, according to dispatch records. The incident took place on June 19, but local media including Arizona Republic released bodycam footage of the traffic stop this week, showing the vehicle weaving in traffic before eventually pulling over into a parking lot. The dispatch records (which are written in all caps) say the vehicle “FREAKED OUT” and that the officer was ultimately “UNABLE TO ISSUE CITATION TO COMPUTER,” according to Arizona Republic.

How to set up parental controls on Facebook, Snapchat, TikTok and more popular sites
Parental controls are offered by almost every popular media network, but many parents aren’t aware of them. Fewer than 10% of teens on Instagram had enabled parental control settings by the end of 2022 and only a single-digit percentage of parents had used the controls, according to a Washington Post report from earlier this year. In response to concerns from Congress and rights groups about the potential harm social media inflicts on young users, tech companies have long argued that parental controls they offer protect kids.
