A car in the middle swerved to try to avoid him, striking a car in the No. 1 lane. The vehicle then hit the man’s car.

The man was taken to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead about 4 a.m., Brownsten said. His wife and son both suffered serious injuries.

The driver of the vehicle in the middle lane was hospitalized with non-life threatening injuries. The driver of the vehicle in the No. 1 lane suffered minor injuries.
