McNally, of Bedminster, NJ., was entering a construction zone eastbound on I-78 in Greenwich when he struck the rear of a slow moving semi-truck around 6:30 p.m.
As McNally approached slowing traffic near a construction zone, authorities say McNally moved from the left lane into the right before rear-ending a tractor-trailer. His vehicle and the rear of the trailer caught fire, and McNally was pronounced dead at the scene a short time later. source
The truck driver escaped the crash with minor injuries and was transported to an area hospital for further evaluation.
McNally was pronounced dead at the scene.
