Warren, NJ (February 15, 2023) – A man from Hillsborough, age 27, lost his life in a two-car accident in Warren Township. Reports from local sources show the fatal crash happened in the eastbound lanes of I-78.
Early reports show the wreck occurred when the victim was traveling east on I-78 near milepost 34.8. For unknown reasons, he became involved in a crash with a Tesla. The impact of the collision sent the Tesla to the left of the road, where it struck a metal guardrail.
The Dodge was pushed off the road, where it rolled over after striking multiple trees. Police say the driver of the Dodge was ejected from the vehicle. He sustained fatal injuries.
At this time, it remains unclear whether the driver of the Tesla sustained injuries.
We want to offer our sincere condolences to the deceased victim’s family.
Police continue to investigate.
New Jersey Auto Collisions
Each year, car accidents in the state of New Jersey cause tens of thousands of people to become injured.

In many other states throughout the country, the number of car accident injuries continues to increase steadily year after year.
