Two people were killed after an SUV drove into a house in the Mullica Hill section of Harrison Township, New Jersey, on Saturday night, police said.

The crash happened at around 6:30 p.m. on Banff Drive, police said.

The SUV, which appears to be a Hyundai Palisade, crashed into the house’s first floor living, according to Harrison Township Police Chief Ronald Cundey.

As a result of the crash, two people inside the SUV were killed and the family inside the house was not injured.

“By the grace of God, the family inside the house was not in the room that the car crashed into, and were able to escape safely unharmed,” Cundey said.

The crash subsequently caused the house to catch on fire, but the flames have been put out, Cundey said.

The identities of the two killed are being withheld at this time, however, Cundey did say the deceased included one man and one woman.

Police are investigating the cause of the crash, but Cundey said they believe it looks like an accident.

“It is unclear at this time why the car may have lost control, or why the driver lost control and crashed into the house,” Cundey said. “We’re at the very initial stages of the investigation. It’s a very tragic situation here tonight, and we’re just trying to figure it out.”

Icy roads across region

Roads and sidewalks were icy throughout the Philly region after a wintry mix came down overnight Friday into Saturday.

NBC10 was out looking at the roads and found many side streets were still dealing with dangerous issues.

A car even slid while making a turn as Siobhan McGirl reported live from Pennsauken in Camden County.

Icy roads in South Jersey were causing drivers to go about their travels more cautiously on Saturday. NBC10’s Siobhan McGirl has the story.

A real concern is black ice, which will look like shiny or wet asphalt. Drivers are urged to be aware of the cars in front of them and avoid any quick movements with their steering wheel to stay safe.

If your car begins sliding on black ice, begin to slow down, but do not hit the brakes or accelerate too hard because it will cause the car to slide more.

Saturday night and Sunday morning are going to remain cold, but dry. However, more wintry mix is expected for Sunday afternoon and evening.
