A New Jersey man died following a crash early Saturday morning on the New Jersey Turnpike in Middlesex County.
Edouard Iougai, 67, of Loch Arbour, was driving a car southbound on the inner roadway in Woodbridge shortly before 4 a.m. when a Mazda SUV struck the rear of his vehicle, a New Jersey State Police spokesman said.
Both vehicles veered off the roadway to the right, hit the guardrail and became disabled in the travel lanes, police said.
The driver of a Toyota minivan then stopped near the crash to help.
A southbound Mercedes-Benz car hit the rear of Iougai’s disabled car and the parked Toyota, causing the Toyota to hit the Mazda, police said.
Iougai was killed, according to police.
No other injuries were reported. Additional details were not disclosed.
The crash remains under investigation, police said.
