Conor Gaul, 29, was pronounced dead shortly after the pinball-like crash near Exit 154 on the southbound parkway shortly after 10 p.m., New Jersey State Police said.
Gaul, a world traveler who'd recently been living in Charleston, SC, was alone in his SUV when it struck a shoulder guardrail while entering from Route 19, then ricocheted across the southbound lanes into the center median and careened back across the highway, they said.
State Police were investigating the cause.
