Michael Santana, 24, of Staten Island, was headed northbound on Route 130 when he lost control the vehicle and spun out around 7:35 a.m., according to South Brunswick Police Deputy Chief Jim Ryan.
Santana's car then crossed over the median and slammed head-on into Zarine Arshakyan's southbound car,
Both Santana and Arshakyan, 55, of Lawrenceville, were pronounced dead at the scene, the deputy chief said, noting speed was likely a factor in the crash.
Santana’s car was sideswiped by a third vehicle while it sat in the southbound lanes, though the driver of that vehicle was not injured, Ryan said.
Two drivers attempting to avoid the fatal wreck crashed a short distance away, and were uninjured, according to Ryan.
Route 130 was closed in both directions for eight hours.
Anyone with further information is asked to call South Brunswick Traffic Safety Bureau Officer William Merkler at 732-329-4000, ext. 7412.
