WALL TOWNSHIP, N.J. — A 64-year-old Connecticut man died from injuries sustained after being struck by a vehicle while crossing State Highway 35 earlier this month, police confirmed.

Michael Losacano, of Niantic, Connecticut, was hit at approximately 6:42 p.m. on Saturday, November 9, near Wall Church Road. Wall Township Police responded to reports of a pedestrian accident and found Losacano critically injured at the scene.

Authorities said a Ford Explorer, driven by a 72-year-old man from Farmingdale, was traveling southbound on State Highway 35 when it struck Losacano.
