HAMMONTON — An 18-year-old Hammonton man was pronounced dead Monday morning after he was critically injured in a one-car accident Sunday night.

David Gulig Jr., of the 800 block of 13th Street, was driving south on 13th Street when his car hit a patch of ice and drove into a telephone pole at about 6 p.m., Hammonton police said.

Gulig, the only occupant of the vehicle, was taken to AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center, City Campus, where he was pronounced dead at 1:19 a.m.

The accident is still under investigation by Officer Jason Rigby, but Sgt. Sam Mavilla said no illegality was involved.

"There was no drunk driving, no other cars involved," Mavilla said. "It's just an unfortunate accident."

Gulig had been a member of Hammonton Fire Co. 2 since 2010. Company president Joe Caruso said that Gulig "was a new member, but he was a different kind of kid."

"He wasn't a rebellious kid, he was a respectable kid," Caruso said. "He'd do anything for anybody around here - or anyone anyplace."
