Attention New Jersey Darters or Truck Drivers, A family needs your help!
A good friend of mine Ralph Jelleyman died due to Road Rage. If you were traveling On RT 130 Tuesday night Nov 22 after midnight, perhaps 1-2 am and saw a fight on the highway involving 2 truckers please read on.
While returning from a run to Maspeth terminal, road man Ralph Jelleyman. (Known on the CB as RJ) from the Cinnaminson, N.J. terminal ( ex- RedStar road man from Philly ) was assaulted. According to the local police they received several 911 calls reporting something happening with the truck Ralph had been driving and another vehicle, which turned out to be a bob-tail tractor. At this time all we know is a confrontation happened between another truck driver and Ralph during which time he was savagely attacked.
Other information is not available or not known as to the precise location of the attack, which happened possibly somewhere along the Rt. 130 corridor
The Burlington County medical examiner ruled yesterday
that a Pennsylvania trucker who was involved in an apparent road-rage
incident early Wednesday in Cinnaminson died from head trauma caused by
a fall, authorities said.
Ralph Jelleyman, 45, of Langhorne, a driver for New Penn Motor Express,
died Wednesday following brain surgery at Cooper University Hospital in
Camden. Police said Jelleyman had been involved earlier in an
altercation with another trucker that began in Delran Township on Route
130. The two drivers played cat-and-mouse until both pulled onto
Union Landing Road in Cinnaminson, said Jack Smith, spokesman for
the Burlington County Prosecutor's Office.
It was unclear whether the two drivers exchanged blows. Jelleyman
resumed his journey to the trucking company's terminal on Garry Road. He
was taken to Cooper after his injuries were recognized as
life-threatening
Anyone who may have seen this assault is requested to
contact the
Cinnaminson Police Department 856-829-6666 to help with the
investigation

I'm hoping someone that shoots darts traveling home might of seen something or a truck driver might know of something that will help solve this.
Thank you,
