TRENTON, N.J. -- A grieving Irvington family is wondering how Newark police managed to find their son's van crashed on the side of highway - but not their son lying less than 200 feet away.
The father of Arinze Ojinnaka said he filed a missing person report with Irvington police on Dec. 21, several hours after his 19-year-old son failed to return home from his overnight shift as a United Parcel Service package handler at Newark Liberty International Airport.
Police in Newark had recovered the family's Chevrolet Lumina minivan crashed against a concrete barrier on the Interstate 78 entrance ramp at Routes 1 & 9 at about 5:30 that morning, but concluded that the driver had fled. But Newark police did not immediately notify the Ojinnakas that the vehicle had been found.
When Clement Ojinnaka finally learned about the Newark accident report five days later, he drove to the site with relatives. He said they found his son's body right away - lying about 175 feet away from the crash side, down an embankment on the other side of the barrier.
"There was Arinze there, facing up," Clement Ojinnaka, told The Star-Ledger of Newark. "It was me who discovered it. That's the most painful part of it."
