Pedestrian Killed Crossing Route 40 in Buena Vista Twp., NJ, Wednesday Morning
A pedestrian was killed while crossing Route 40 in Buena Vista Township Wednesday morning.
The accident happened just before 8:30 on Harding Highway near Green Avenue, or about one mile west of the Richland Train Station.

The pedestrian was pronounced dead at the scene; that person's identity has not yet been released.
Video from WPVI-TV shows a black vehicle stopped along the highway.
The prosecutor's office and New Jersey State Police are cooperatively investigating this crash.
