Luis Cevallos and Alexis Rodriguez crash video
The accident occurred around 2:15 AM as Cevallos was driving his Kia Stinger at a notably high speed.
They encountered a 2021 Volvo tractor-trailer that had positioned itself across all four lanes of the road for an early morning delivery to a nearby business.
In a desperate attempt to avoid the looming obstacle, their vehicle swerved but ultimately collided with the side of the tractor-trailer, just behind one of its rear wheels.
The impact sent the vehicle underneath the trailer, coming to a halt approximately 30 to 40 feet past the truck.
The scene that unfolded was one of devastation, with the top of the Kia Stinger sheared off.
Tragically, both Cevallos and Rodriguez were pronounced deceased by medical personnel at the scene at 2:26 AM.
Remarkably, the truck driver, who was inside his vehicle during the collision, emerged without any injuries.
Despite the early stage of the investigation, Captain David Dowd of the North Bergen Police Department indicated that drugs or alcohol do not seem to have played a role in this heartbreaking incident.
