A 53-year-old Somerset County man died Tuesday after he suffered a medical episode while driving in the southbound lanes of Interstate 287, authorities said.

New Jersey State Police were called for medical assistance about 5:10 p.m. near milepost 38 in Hanover Township in Morris County.

The driver, who was from Bernardsville, had “suffered a medical episode in the driver’s seat,” according to Detective Jeffrey Lebron, a State Police spokesman.

The man was taken to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Additional information about the death was not available Wednesday morning, Lebron said.
