TOTOWA, N.J. (CBSNewYork/AP) -- A man was killed on a northern New Jersey highway this weekend, after he was ejected from his car during a collision and struck moments later by another vehicle.

No other injuries were reported in the three-vehicle crash on Route 80 in Totowa, which occurred just after 7 a.m. Saturday.
