A Morristown man is in critical condition after a multi-vehicle accident Saturday on the Garden State Parkway that killed another motorist.

Michael Aberback, 37, of Morristown is at Jersey Shore Medical Center, and Leonard Danduone, 80, of New Providence was killed after a four-vehicle collision near exit 114 of the Parkway, State Police Sgt. Brian Polite said.

Danduone was driving northbound in the southbound express lane in Middletown when he hit a car head-on, Polite said. Danduone, who was driving a white sedan, was pronounced dead at Riverview Medical Center in Red Bank, Polite said.
