A 41-year-old resident of Burlington is in critical condition after crashing into another vehicle on Route 1 in West Windsor on Sunday evening.
Police were dispatched to Route 1 south just south of Carnegie Boulevard at 7:13 p.m. Sunday due to a serious motor vehicle crash involving two vehicles. The initial investigation by police revealed that the Burlington resident, who was driving a 2017 Lincoln MKZ, was traveling south on Route 1 in the left lane, and then changed lanes just south of Carnegie Center Boulevard. When he changed lanes to the right, he struck the back of a 2020 Acura SUV being driven by a Cranbury resident. The Acura spun in the roadway, police said. The Lincoln MKZ then went off of the roadway to the right, struck a tree and a utility pole guide wire, and destroyed a hotel sign before coming to rest about 30 feet from the roadway in the snow.
