The unfortunate collision, which officials confirmed occurred on the evening of December 10, 2025, specifically on Madison Avenue in Morristown, involved an individual on foot and a passenger car.

At this stage, details regarding the driver of the vehicle involved, or if any charges are being considered, remain scarce as the probe is very much ongoing. Authorities have indicated that more information will be shared with the public as it becomes available and the investigation progresses.
