And a driver dies after an overnight crash on the New Jersey Turnpike in Middlesex County. News 12 New Jersey's Tony Caputo has the very latest from Cranberry. Well, just an absolute tragedy overnight as a man from Pennsylvania loses his life in an accident just south of exit 8A, northbound on the New Jersey Turnpike here in Cranberry. A 38-year-old Upper Darby, Pennsylvania man was killed after he struck a car that was stopped on the shoulder and he lost control of his vehicle. Take a look at these pictures that were sent in to News 12. Now, state police did not specify that it was a FedEx truck, but clearly the picture tells the story. State police telling us the victim was driving a Freightliner double tractor trailer northbound on the inner roadway, so in the car lanes, when the right side of his vehicle struck the left side of a Honda that was stopped on the shoulder of the inner lanes. After impact, the 38-year-old victim lost control of the double tractor trailer. Struck the guardrail, jumped it, and overturned, ending up in the truck lanes, struck an electronic sign, and then that vehicle went up in flames. State police did not say if the victim died from impact of the crash or if he died as a result of the fire. His name has not yet been released. There were no other injuries mentioned, so it is assumed that those in or around the Honda are okay. As we get more details on this tragedy, we'll certainly pass it along. That's the latest from Cranberry. Tony Caputo, News 12.
