Too many spills of every kind!

The local fox new station this morning reported that while the tanker that caused the oil spill here in the Deleware River is being repaired in a southern state, pieces will be returned here for further investigation.

Hazlet man's death ruled a suicide

HAZLET: Authorities are investigating the apparent suicide of a 50-year-old Union Beach man, whose body was discovered behind the Hazlet Multiplex Cinemas theater on Saturday.

Wolfgang Persieck's body was found inside his car, which was parked in an isolated area behind the theater on Route 35 about 10 p.m. Saturday, authorities said.

While the official cause of death remained under investigation on Sunday, investigators found several notes at the scene indicated that Persieck intended to commit suicide, Monmouth County Prosecutor John A. Kaye said.

It appeared that Persieck decapitated himself by tying one end of a rope to a light post and the other end to his neck, before pressing the accelerator in his car, Kaye said.

Two juveniles who were walking in the parking lot a short time later found the body and the car. The two then stopped Holmdel Officer David D'Arcy, who was driving his patrol car through the theater lot, Kaye said.

After an investigation, which included interviews with his family and a review of the notes in the car, authorities determined the death a suicide.

Hazlet Detective Sgt. Howard Nuss, along with investigators from the prosecutor's office, conducted the investigation.

You're right about that. Too many of them just plain unsafe for the road and too many of the drivers in too big a hurry to get to their destinations (at quite a cost in damages done, and in some cases lives taken):
