The Infiniti may have briefly landed on top of the pickup, according to images of the crash and calls to New Jersey 101.5.

Frick was remembered as a devoted family man, former U.S. Naval service member and a senior vice president with Heller Construction, according to his online obituary.

Reyes was released on pre-trial monitoring, after surrendering his passport and driver’s license.
