A 75-year-old driver died last week after suffering a heart attack veering off a road and crashing in Hunterdon County, authorities and a family member said.
Donald Campbell was driving north on Route 519 in Alexandria just before 10 a.m. on May 22 when his vehicle went off the road to the left, entered a ditch and struck a tree, State Police said.
Campbell, of Milford, was pronounced dead at the scene near milepost 14. He suffered a hear attack prior to crashing, according to a relative, who added the crash itself was at a slow speed.
A graduate of St. Joseph High School in Metuchen and Rutgers University, Campbell had a long career as an engineer. He is survived by his wife, brother, sister and numerous other relatives, according to an online obituary.
