James Marshall of Staten Island was southbound near the intersection with Schulmeister Road at about 1:45 a.m. on Thursday when his vehicle rear-ended a tractor-trailer, according to Old Bridge police.

The truck driver from Perth Amboy, also 43, had no serious injuries, police said. His name was not released.

Anyone with information about the crash is urged to call Old Bridge Police Department at 732-607-4805.

A separate Thursday morning crash in Colts Neck involved a possible drug overdose, initial reports said.

A Good Samaritan pulled the driver from the car and police had to administer Narcan for a suspected drug overdose, according to an unconfirmed report. That collision caused a utility pole to catch fire and occurred about 8 a.m. on Route 34 at Pegasus Drive.
