Fred Durst, of Cape May, was driving north on the parkway in the right lane at 7:10 p.m. when his car left the road for unknown reasons, struck a guardrail at milepost 5 and came to rest on top of the guardrail, according to State Police at the Bass River station. The Rio Grande Fire Company extricated Durst from his vehicle.

The left lane opened at 8:39 p.m. and the scene was cleared at 9:12 p.m., the state Department of Transportation reported.
