The crash occurred on Route 24 westbound near milepost .7 in Hanover Township just after 8:20 p.m., NJSP Lawrence Peele told Daily Voice.

The Altima veered off the road, traveled down an embankment and crashed into several trees, critically injuring the driver and rear passenger and causing non-life-sustaining injuries for a second passenger, Peele said.

The westbound Exit 1A was closed for around five hours following the crash, which remained under investigation, Peele said.
