New Jersey state police say a drunken driver traveling the wrong way on an interstate highway crashed head-on with another vehicle, killing a New York City man.
The crash on Interstate 80 in Saddle Brook occurred around 1:20 a.m. Saturday.
A state police spokesman says a pickup truck driven by 32-year-old Paterson resident Mario Funes was westbound in an eastbound lane when he crashed into a car driven by 64-year-old Luis Feliz, of Yonkers, New York. The impact caused Feliz's car to overturn, and he was pronounced dead at the scene a short time later.
Funes apparently suffered minor injuries in the crash. He was charged with drunken driving, and state police say criminal charges are pending.
