A southbound car driven by Anthony J. Perona Jr., 24, of Hammonton, crossed the traffic line at about 4:35 p.m. and sideswiped a northbound tractor being hauled by Bobby G. Bradbury, 44, of Sicklerville, Lt. Ed Barr said. Perona then hit a car and he was ejected from the vehicle, Barr said.

Perona, who had multiple injuries, was flown by a Southstar helicopter to AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center, City Campus in Atlantic City, police said. A nursing supervisor said he was in fair condition Monday night. The other car driver, Maria Delacruz, 46, of Hammonton, and the 10 year-old boy who was her passenger had minor injuries. They were taken to AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center, Mainland Division in Galloway Township, Barr said. Bradbury was not hurt.
