A 51-year-old woman from Bethlehem, PA, was headed east in the westbound lanes of I-78 near milepost 13.8 in Union Township when she sideswiped a pickup truck just before 2 a.m. Sunday, New Jersey State Police Trooper Alejandro Goez said.
The woman -- behind the wheel of a Hyundai Sonata -- then a sedan head-on, throwing two passengers from the vehicle, Goez said.
The passengers -- a 16-year-old boy and 25-year-old man both from Allentown, PA -- and the driver, a 41-year-old man from Sayreville, were all flown to Morristown Medical Center with serious injuries, Goez said.
Meanwhile, the wrong-way driver was transported to St. Luke’s University Hospital Bethlehem, with minor injuries, according to Goez. The pickup driver, a 52-year-old from Stewartsville, was taken to Hunterdon Medical Center with minor injuries.
The cause of the crash was under investigation.
