Officers responding to the pedestrian crash on Route 1 North at the Square of West Windsor found the man, of Princeton, unresponsive just after 6:20 a.m., West Windsor Police said.

A follow-up investigation found that the driver — a 31-year-old Plainsboro woman — was in the right lane of Route 1 northbound approaching the square as the victim was walking toward the southbound lanes.

The man had just reached the right lane on the northbound side when he was struck by the vehicle — a 2015 Nissan Altima — which continued into the shoulder of the road, police said.

The victim’s name was not released.

All northbound lanes were shut down from Quakerbridge Road to Meadow Road for about 3 hours and 15 minutes for the crash investigation, which remained ongoing, police said.
