John Forbes Nash, Jr., ... born on June 13, 1928, ... was killed, along with his wife, in a car crash on Saturday in ... a taxi on the New Jersey Turnpike in Monroe Township ... driver lost control ... hit a guardrail and another car ... .

He had

... shared a Nobel Prize in 1994 ... [and was now] returning home from ... a trip to Norway, where [he] had received the Abel Prize from the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters.
