N.J. Police Investigate After Craig Powers Is Crushed To Death Between Two Trucks

PENNSAUKEN, N.J. (CBSNewYork/AP) -- Police were probing a crash that claimed the life of a New Jersey man after his car was crushed between two trucks.

Pennsauken Police Sgt. Chris Sulzbach told The Courier-Post of Cherry Hill Craig Powers' Buick LeSabre was stopped at a light when it was rear-ended by a box truck Monday.

Sulzbach said the force of the crash pushed the car partially under a dump truck.

The collision sent the dump truck into two other vehicles also stopped at the intersection. No one else was injured.

Powers was 55 and lived in Marlton.
