The fatal incident occurred between Dixie Avenue and Parker Avenue, just south of New Jersey Route 208, shortly after 6:30 a.m.
Authorities said the female pedestrian was crossing Lincoln Avenue when she was hit by a driver in a green or dark-colored Honda CRV. Witnesses said the impact of the crash knocked the victim into the southbound lanes, and clothing was left thrown across the road.
