  JACKSON – Police are looking for witnesses to a one-vehicle crash that hospitalized two people.

  At around 7:20 p.m. on October 25, a 1994 green Mercury Cougar was found off the road. It had struck multiple trees on the side of Monmouth Road.

  Ronald Nastasi, 23, and Lauren Citrano, 22, both of Toms River, had to be extricated by emergency crews and then brought to a hospital by helicopter.
