Update: Route 1 reopened after crash kills driver

🚨Lanes on Route 1 were closed in both directions by the crash

🚨One driver was killed in the two-vehicle crash

NEW BRUNSWICK — One person is dead following a crash on Route 1 during the Wednesday morning commute.

Middlesex County Prosecutor Yolanda Ciccone said an Infiniti struck a Ford pick-up on northbound Route 1 near the Morris Goodkind Bridge around 7:45 a.m. The driver of the pick-up died after the crash.

The pickup driver was identified by Ciccione as Dennis Frick, 65, of Freehold. The investigation determined that Infiniti driver was heading southbound, lost control and crossed the median into the path of Frick’s Ford pick up.

No charges have been filed in the case and the investigation is ongoing.

All northbound lanes were closed immediately after the crash, creating a "ripple effect" on traffic. Delays quickly developed on Routes 1, 18, 287 and surrounding local roads.

Both directions of Route 1 were closed again as of 11 a.m. but some at least one lane reopened in each direction around noon. All lanes are reopened as of 1 p.m.

Multi-mile delays between North Brunswick and Edison in both directions dissipated once all lanes were open.
