Westville Man Dies in Route 295 Crash in Cherry Hill

A Westville man died at the scene in a late-night, multi-car crash on Route 295 in Cherry Hill Saturday, State Police said.

Edward Yost, 33, lost control of his Corvette around 1:45 a.m. while driving south on the highway, police said, flipped after slamming into the median barrier and slid, upside-down, into oncoming traffic on the northbound side in between the Woodcrest and Haddonfield-Berlin Road exits.

An Acura TL then crashed into the Corvette, police said, killing Yost and injuring two in the Acura.

Those two—Daries Newton, 26, of Pemberton, and Tyler Morris, 21, of Mount Laurel—were taken to Cooper University Hospital, police said, and were treated for minor injuries.

The crash, which shut down the highway for more than four hours, remains under investigation, police said.
