Renaming New Jersey Interchange

A section of New Jersey highway near Philadelphia is named the “Ensign John R. Elliott Memorial Interchange” in honor of a naval officer from Egg Harbor Township killed by a drunken driver on July 22, 2000.Elliott’s death, which occurred two months after he graduated the U.S. Naval Academy, led his parents to form the HERO campaign, a nationally recognized non-profit dedicated to preventing DWI deaths by promoting designated drivers.
