Man Ejected, Hit By Car After Route 195 Crash In Howell: NJSP

HOWELL, NJ — A Jackson Township man is hospitalized after he was ejected from a vehicle during a crash on Route 195 Saturday morning and hit by a car after he landed in the opposing lanes, New Jersey State Police said Sunday.

Clint Eng, 38, was a passenger in the Nissan Xterra driven by Keith Eng, 36, of Jackson, when the accident happened shortly after 6 a.m. Saturday, New Jersey State Trooper Alejandro Goez said Sunday.

Goez said Keith Eng was driving in the left lane of the eastbound side of Route 195 when he lost control and went into the median between the east and westbound lanes. The Xterra overturned and hit a guardrail, Goez said, and in the process, Clint Eng was ejected.

Clint Eng landed in the left lane on the westbound portion of the highway and was hit by a Hyundai Elantra driven by Ryan Deceuster, 30, of the Laurence Harbor section of Old Bridge Township, Goez said.

Goez said the report by the responding troopers said Clint Eng suffered moderate injuries in the accident; Keith Eng suffered minor injuries, Goez said. The report did not say to which hospital the two were taken.

Deceuster was not injured, Goez said.

The westbound lanes of Route 195 were shut down for more than three hours, Goez said. Authorities across Monmouth and Ocean counties reported multiple motor vehicle accidents Saturday morning due to icy conditions. Route 18 was shut down completely in the Tinton Falls area for a few hours following multiple crashes, authorities said.
