An elderly pedestrian is recovering from serious injuries in a hospital after he was struck by a car while crossing South Wood Avenue in Linden.
Police officers responding to the 300 block of S. Wood Ave on reports of an auto-pedestrian motor vehicle crash, at about 6:40 p.m. Tuesday, found the 71-year-old Linden man with serious injuries and arranged for him to be transported to University Hospital in Newark.
A preliminary investigation found that a 2004 Nissan Maxima was traveling north on S. Wood Ave when it struck the man as he crossed the street.
