Carteret, NJ (September 29, 2026) – A three-vehicle wreck left one man hurt on the southbound New Jersey Turnpike in Carteret on Monday, September 28. The collision was reported at about 11:20 p.m.
Emergency crews were dispatched to assist a 48-year-old man in the rear vehicle who reported back pain after the crash.
Further details about his injury have not yet been released.
Authorities are working to determine what caused the collision.
We hope the injured man makes a full and steady recovery.
Fault after a multi-vehicle crash in Carteret is usually determined by reviewing what each driver was doing before the vehicles collided. Investigators and insurers may look at following distance, speed, lane changes, braking, and other actions that may have contributed to the crash.
When accounts differ, the crash report, photos, witness statements, and available video can help show how the collision unfolded. These records may also help establish which vehicle was struck first and how the remaining collisions occurred.
Because New Jersey is a no-fault state, PIP generally pays your medical expenses first after a car crash, regardless of who caused it. Your own auto policy usually provides this coverage, subject to the terms and limits you selected.
If another driver is legally responsible, you may be able to seek payment for medical costs, lost income, vehicle damage, pain and suffering, and other losses. What you may recover depends on the circumstances and the insurance coverage available.
Under New Jersey law, most personal injury lawsuits must be filed within two years of the crash. Missing that deadline can prevent you from filing a lawsuit and seeking compensation through the court.
When several vehicles are involved, the insurance companies may disagree about how much responsibility each driver carries. Those disagreements can affect which insurer pays and how much compensation may be available.
When the insurance companies disagree about who caused the crash, a car accident lawyer can review the evidence and determine how responsibility may affect your claim. An attorney can also communicate with the insurers and handle disputes over payment.
