A Hillsborough man is in fair condition at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in New Brunswick after he was ejected from the vehicle in which he was a passenger that crashed off the east bound shoulder of Amwell Road at 9:24 p.m. Friday.
Matthew Corcoran, 46, was found about 50 feet from the vehicle in a ditch off the east bound shoulder of the road, and was taken by Medevac helicopter to the hospital with serious injuries, after being treated by the Hillsborough Rescue Squad and the Somerset County Medics.
