Mullica Township police are searching for information related to a single-car crash that killed a New Gretna man early Sunday.

Capt. John Thompson said Robert Haverstock, 47, of New Gretna, was killed when his car struck a guard rail and a tree early Sunday morning on Moss Mill Road.

Haverstock's car then rolled over and he was ejected, landing in a small body of water, Thompson said.

Police responded to the scene about 2:45 a.m. Sunday, but when officers arrived, Haverstock's car was cold, indicating the crash had occurred some time before it was discovered, Thompson said. Haverstock was pronounced dead at the scene. He was the only person in the vehicle

Thompson said there currently are no witnesses and the section of road where the crash occurred was in a rural and isolated area.

Anyone with information about the incident is asked to contact Cpl. Erik Karricart at 609-561-7600, ext. 123.
