MILLSTONE -- A 23-year-old man was killed and two were critically injured Friday night when the all-terrain vehicle on which they were riding crashed, State Police said.
Eric T. Waters, of Millstone, was driving a Suzuki QuadSport west on Pine Hill Road at about 10:30 p.m. with two passengers when he lost control of the vehicle and hit a pole, State Police spokesman Sgt. First Class Greg Williams said. Waters was pronounced dead at the scene before midnight, he said.
His 23-year-old passengers -- Kathryn Doe of Long Branch and Karli Schaffner of West Long Branch -- were flown by medical helicopter to Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in New Brunswick, Williams said.
Both women were listed in critical condition as of Saturday afternoon, he said.
Williams said the preliminary report didn't indicate whether Waters and his passengers were wearing helmets.
