Robert C. Johnson died after a pickup headed west in the area of Colts Neck Road veered onto the eastbound side of the highway, sideswiped a sedan and then collided with his car head-on, the Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office said.
The crash occurred at 12:05 a.m. on Friday, March 11.
A 32-year-old Jackson man driving the pickup remained hospitalized in critical condition on Monday, according to Chris Swendeman, a spokesman for the prosecutor’s office. The Jackson driver was ejected from his pickup when it overturned and burst into flames, Howell police said.
The driver of the third vehicle — a 38-year-old Point Pleasant woman — was not hurt.
The crash remains under investigation.
