Troopers responded at 3:48 a.m. to the southbound inner roadway near milepost 94.6, according to New Jersey State Police Sgt. Jeffrey Lebron said.
A Chevrolet Malibu and a Mazda CX-5 were both heading south when the Mazda struck the rear of the Chevrolet, Lebron said.
Both vehicles veered off the roadway to the right, impacted the guardrail, and then reentered the roadway, becoming disabled in the travel lanes, he said.
A Toyota Sienna stopped near the scene to help. Moments later, a Mercedes-Benz C300 crashed into the disabled Chevrolet and the stopped Toyota. The force of that impact pushed the Toyota into the disabled Mazda, Lebron said.
The driver of the Chevrolet, Edouard Lougai, 67, of Loch Arbour, sustained fatal injuries, police said. No one else was hurt.
The crash is under investigation. No further information is available at this time.
