News reporter allegedly drives car into oncoming traffic, killing 95-year-old woman. Now, she is accused of murder.

A 36-year-old freelance news reporter in New Jersey intentionally drove her vehicle into oncoming traffic, hitting a car and killing a 95-year-old woman, according to police.

Now, the journalist faces a murder charge.

Around 4 p.m. on Feb. 10, 36-year-old Lisa Pollitt got into her vehicle and intentionally drove into oncoming traffic, the Cranbury Police Department said.

Pollitt struck the victims, who were traveling northbound on Route 130, in Cranbury, New Jersey, police said.

Two women were in the vehicle and both sustained serious injuries. They were taken to Robert Woods Johnson Hospital, according to authorities. On Feb. 12, the passenger of the vehicle, 95-year-old Ann “Nancy” Stewart, died.

Pollitt was arrested and charged with one count of murder, one count of fourth-degree onstruction and separate counts of second- and third-degree aggravated assault, officials said.

Investigators said the alleged murder appeared to be a random act, as Pollitt and the victims were unknown to each other.

Pollitt remains in custody pending her next court date, officials said.

New Brunswick Today released a statement after the crash as Pollitt had worked for the company.
