The crash occurred on the inner roadway southbound near milepost 95.3 in Carteret just after midnight Thursday, Dec. 29, NJSP Sgt. Alejandro Goez told DailyVoice.
A Lincoln Navigator was in front of a Toyota Prius in the right lane when the two vehicles collided, causing the Prius to veer across to the left lane and hit a Nissan Murano, Goez said.
One of the Murano’s passengers, Markio Chang, 75, of Montrose, CA, was killed in the crash.
The driver and remaining passenger suffered non-life-threatening injuries, and the 19-year-old driver of the Toyota was hospitalized for non-life-threatening injuries.
