A 51-year-old Lakewood man has been identified as the pedestrian struck and killed by a car along Route 9 in Howell on Sunday evening, the Monmouth County Prosecutor's office said.
Isidro Martinez-Mendez was hit by a sedan driven by a 22-year-old Jackson woman as he crossed in the northbound lanes a quarter-mile south of Alexander Avenue.
Martinez-Mendez was pronounced dead at the scene at 7:56 p.m., shortly after the crash, officials said
The driver, who had a 10-year-old passenger in the car, has not been charged. The crash remains under investigation.
It was the second fatal crash involving a pedestrian on Route 9 in Howell in a little more than a week.
In the other crash, a 21-year-old Jackson woman was charged with drunken driving after striking and killing a 53-year-old Freehold man on Dec. 2. That took place near the intersection of Route 9 and New Friendship Road, about two miles north of Sunday's incident.
Anyone with information about Sunday's crash is asked to call Monmouth County Prosecutor's Office Detective Eric Kerecman at 800-533-7443 or Howell officer Matthew Cherney at 732-938-4575.
