A woman has died after crashing into a tree in Manchester, police said

At approximately 6:00pm on Saturday, officers of the Manchester Township Police Department were dispatched to the area of Renaissance Boulevard and Devereux Drive for the report of a single motor vehicle crash into a tree. Upon arrival officers located a blue 2020 Subaru Outback with extensive front end damage on the property of 11 Devereux Drive.

The driver of the vehicle was identified as 72-year-old Manchester resident, Salvina Tannenholz.

Upon arrival, Tannenholz was unconscious and not breathing. First responders immediately initiated life-saving measures including CPR. Tannenholz was subsequently transported to Community Medical Center where she was pronounced dead.

The crash investigation revealed that the Subaru was traveling southbound on Renaissance Boulevard prior to the crash. While negotiating a curve the Subaru left the roadway and struck a curb. The vehicle then continued in a straight line before impacting a tree on the property of 11 Devereux Drive. Tannenholz did not appear to have her seatbelt on prior to the crash.

Assisting at the scene were EM’s from Manchester Township Emergency Medical Services, Paramedics from Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital, and members of the Ridgeway Volunteer Fire Department.

The investigation into the crash is still ongoing, but at this point, an unknown medical episode appears to be the primary contributing factor in the crash. This crash is being investigated by Patrolman Keith Douglas of the department’s Traffic Safety Unit.
