WEEHAWKEN -- A 24-year-old Englewood man who was badly hurt when he crashed his motorcycle inside the Lincoln Tunnel early Tuesday later died of his injuries, police said.
Andre Williams died Tuesday evening after being admitted to Jersey City Medical Center in critical condition, Joe Pentangelo, a spokesman for the Port Authority Police, confirmed on Thursday.
The 1 a.m. crash, which occurred on the tunnel's New Jersey side as Williams was heading toward Manhattan, shut down the center tube for several hours, stranding some motorists who were inside at the time.
No other vehicles were caught up in the crash, and no one else was hurt.
Police said Monday that Williams was driving without a license, and on Thursday added that his 2007 Honda was not registered.
Williams was a familiar to many in Englewood through his work cutting hair, often with intricate detail, at a shop known as Precise Cuts, where he went by the name Dre the Barber.
A Go Fund Me page set up after the accident to raise money for medical expenses attracted dozens of donors and raised thousands of dollars this week.
