Falls Township police responded around 2:25 a.m. to the scene on Route 1 northbound, just north of the Route 13 overpass, for a report of a traffic crash involving a pedestrian.
The preliminary investigation found that a black Cadillac traveling north on Route 1 lost control at the overpass, striking the concrete lane divider before coming to rest in the middle of the highway, police said.
The Cadillac’s driver, a 38-year-old Trenton man, exited the vehicle. He was then struck by a Lexus ES3 sedan operated by a 30-year-old Trenton man, while standing outside the Cadillac, police said.
