MIDDLETOWN, N.J. (AP) - Authorities say a New York City man was driving drunk and the wrong way when he caused a fatal crash on a New Jersey highway.
Monmouth County prosecutors say Anthony Sarlo was driving westbound in the eastbound lanes of Route 36 in Middletown when the crash occurred shortly before 1 a.m. Saturday. They say the 62-year-old Brooklyn man’s vehicle struck a car driven by 66-year-old Michael Gustafson, of Atlantic Highlands.
Gustafson was taken to a hospital but died there a short time later. Sarlo was treated at a hospital for undisclosed injuries.
