BURLINGTON TWP., N.J. (WPVI) -- A collision involving a tractor-trailer and a minivan left one person dead on Tuesday in Burlington Twp., New Jersey.

The crash happened around 11:45 a.m. in the 2100 block of Mount Holly Road, in front of the Liberty Square Center.

"I looked up. I heard a loud noise, screeching. When I looked up, I saw the tractor trailer t-boned a mini van," recalled Stephen Stiles. "As soon as I saw a minivan, the first thing I thought was family."

According to the Burlington County Prosecutor's Office, a woman in the passenger seat of the minivan was killed. The driver of the vehicle and an infant in the backseat were taken to an area hospital for non-life-threatening injuries.

As first responders arrived on the scene, Stiles rushed in to help.

"The child was on the driver side. If that child would have been on the other side, it would have been worse," he noted.

Officials say the driver of the tractor trailer remained on scene. Black skid marks and tire tracks are now the aftermath of the morning's tragedy

Further details on the crash have not been released.

The woman who died has not been identified.
