W. Berlin man killed, brother hurt, in I-676 crash

A West Berlin man was killed yesterday morning after his car swerved on northbound I-676 near Gloucester City, striking a box truck and the guardrail.

Justin Robillard, 31, was thrown from his Nissan Altima from the impact with the rail. He was pronounced dead at the scene. His brother, Joshua, 36, also of West Berlin, was a passenger and was taken to Cooper University Hospital with injuries that were not life-threatening, a state police spokesman said.

Joshua Robillard told police that a vehicle cut them off, causing the Altima in the center lane to lose control just before 9:30 a.m. The car hit the truck, struck the rail, and hit the truck again, at which point Joshua Robillard was ejected from the car. The truck driver, Pavlo Vidyaev, 26, and a passenger, Lance Kaplan, 25, both of Brooklyn, N.Y., were uninjured, police said.

The accident, near the I-676 Collings Avenue exit, shut the northbound lanes headed toward Camden from Gloucester City for about three hours. - Matthew Spolar
