11m agoA 43-year-old man from Suffern, New York, was pronounced dead following a crash on the Garden State Parkway in East Orange just before 1 a.m., New Jersey State Police said.
Authorities say the incident took place at milepost 146.4 on the Garden State Parkway in East Orange. State police said a Tesla Model Y was traveling southbound on the parkway when the crash happened at approximately 12:58 a.m. The car, driven by Eliyahu Fink, 43, of Suffern, was involved in a single-car crash and became disabled.
Police said Fink exited the car following the crash and "remained in the roadway." A short time later, a Jeep Cherokee, also traveling southbound, struck both Fink and the Tesla. The impact caused Fink "to become airborne and thrown into the northbound lanes," state police told News 12 in a statement.
"Fink was subsequently struck by multiple vehicles and sustained fatal injuries," police said.
No one else was injured in the crash. State police say the crash remains under investigation.
