A South Amboy man was killed in a two-car crash that occurred on Bordentown Avenue in the area of the "S" curves Thursday morning, according to police Lt. Daniel Plumacker.

The accident, which occurred just before 8 a.m., is under investigation by the Sayreville Police Department Traffic Safety Bureau, he said.

Police said the victim, whose name was not released pending notification of next of kin, was reportedly driving a 2007 Honda Accord west on Bordentown Avenue when his vehicle crossed the double yellow line and was struck by a box truck traveling in the opposite direction.

The driver of the Honda Accord was pronounced dead at the scene.

Bordentown Avenue was closed in both directions from the time of the accident until approximately 11 a.m.
