A man died early Thanksgiving morning after he was struck by a police car on a busy Camden County, New Jersey, highway, authorities said.
He was hit by an on-duty officer from the Waterford Police Department on White Horse Pike in the Atco section of Waterford, according to a statement from the New Jersey Attorney General’s Office. He was pronounced dead at the scene at 2:19 a.m.
Neither the man who was hit or the officer was identified by the attorney general’s office as of 9:30 p.m. Friday, and no other information about the incident was released.
Per state law, the office investigates all incidents where a person dies during an encounter with police, and the evidence will eventually be presented to a grand jury to determine if the officer should be indicted.
